George Washington's own 1790s role is the focus of this portrait, which carries the formal title "President of the United States of America," a designation that dates his office to the country's first executive term. The "Esq." in the title is a courtesy style common in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and it signals the republican tone of the era, when Americans avoided royal titles for their leaders. Washington served two terms, from 1789 to 1797, and images like this one helped shape how the public pictured the first president as a figure of civic virtue and national unity.
