Portrait of George Washington

William Russell Birch

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a portrait of George Washington in a gold frame. The portrait depicts a man with white hair wearing a dark-colored coat with a white lace collar. The man has a neutral expression and is looking to his right. He has light skin, blue eyes, and white hair that is styled in a wig or powdered hairstyle. The frame is gold with a star and floral pattern around the edges. A small loop is attached to the top of the frame. The background of the portrait is dark brown, and the frame is set against a light gray background. The frame appears to be rectangular with a flat profile. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-left corner of the portrait.
