Jimmie, I believe the Frederick Leighton portrait is still at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I saw it in the 19th century European galleries to the north of the foot of the grand staircase, just two weeks ago. Its my wife's favorite painting. Occasionally the hanging order of the collections are modified. I think paintings are rotated, since there are more popular paintings in the collection than there are room to display at any given time. But that is just my theory of why it was not hung when others were looking for it.
