George Washington

Rembrandt Peale

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Oval painting of George Washington in a stone frame. George Washington is pictured from the chest up, facing left with a neutral expression on his face. He has short gray hair. He wears a dark blue military jacket with gold epaulets on the shoulders and gold details around the lapels. Underneath the jacket, he wears a white cravat and a high white collar. The background behind Washington is a cloudy sky with shades of white and gray. The oval frame is made to look like stone with cracks running through it.
