after Stuart (Am., 19th c.), Washington Portrait

Oil on canvas (lined), unsigned, painted in a feigned oval, housed in the likely original circa 1820 gilt wood frame with applied composition shell ornament. The painting is clearly a copy of Gilbert Stuart's famous Athenaeum portrait of George Washington. Stuart, along with critics and the populace, considered this visage to be his best representation of the first President.

From the Estate of John Scanlon of Sag Harbor, New York
