Description: Early George Washington engraving, "from the original picture in the Boston Atheneum taken from life in 1795". After the original painting by Gilbert Stuart. Measures about 6" x 8". From the Smithsonian: "Gilbert Stuart first painted George Washington in 1795 (in a work now known only from copies). That painting was so successful that, according to artist Rembrandt Peale, Martha Washington “wished a Portrait for herself.” She persuaded her husband to sit again for Stuart “on the express condition that when finished it should be hers.” Stuart, however, did not want to part with the picture and left it unfinished so that he could refer to it when producing future commissions. Known as the “Athenaeum” portrait because it went to the Boston Athenaeum after Stuart’s death, this painting served as the basis for the engraving of Washington that appears on the one-dollar bill." Good condition with some discoloration around back and on edges. Also edges are not completely straight.
