An engraved standing portrait of George Washington, rendered after a painting by Gilbert Stuart, shows the first president in the full-length pose that became one of the most widely reproduced images of the nation's founder. Stuart, a Rhode Island-born painter working in Philadelphia and later Washington, D.C., made several versions of Washington's likeness, and his images were copied by engravers for decades. Prints like this one carried Washington's face into homes, schoolrooms and public buildings across the young republic, helping to shape how Americans pictured their first leader long after his death in 1799.
