George Washington (After Gilbert Stuart), 19th C. Oil on Canvas standing object with old handmade ones likeFound just in the time for the 4th of July, this folk portrait of George Washington, based I believe of the earliest of Gilbert Stuart's Washington portraits: the Gibbs Channing Avery portrait, c. 1795. I love variations on a theme, and portraits of Washington are a great example many many out there, all a little different, and of interest at least as much for what they reveal about the painter as the subject. I love the glow y softness of this one,
