Print of the unfinished portrait of Franklin delano Roosevelt" by Elizabeth  Shoumatoff

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945),

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, also known as FDR, was the 32nd
president of the United States, serving from 1933 until his
death in 1945.

He is the longest-serving U.S. president and the only one to
have served more than two terms.

On April 12, at the Little White House, he sat for a portrait by
painter
Elizabeth Shoumatoff. He told Shoumatoff, "I have a
terrific headache."

He then slumped forward in his chair, unconscious, and was
carried into his bedroom.

At 3:35 p.m. that day, his doctor Howard Bruenn diagnosed
a massive
intracerebral hemorrhage and pronounced him
dead at age 63.
