Lansdowne portrait of George Washington
An iconic life-size portrait of George Washington painted by Gilbert Stuart in 1796 depicting the 64-year-old President of the United States during his final year in office. The portrait was a gift to former British Prime Minister William Petty, 1st Marquess of Lansdowne, and spent more than 170 years in England.
Stuart painted three copies of the Lansdowne, and five portraits that were closely related to it.
His most famous copy has hung in the East Room of the White House since 1800. Numerous other artists also painted copies.
