Washington appears here in full military dress, posed beside a cannon and a bank of military flags, a combination that points to his role as commander of the Continental Army rather than to his later office. Painted portraits of him in this vein were produced in large numbers after the Revolution, when the young republic needed a visual shorthand for its founding leader. The cannon and banners signal the war years, while the calm, upright pose reflects the dignified image Washington cultivated and that artists were eager to reproduce. Gallery visitors may want to compare the setting with the many other Washington portraits on this board, which trace how his likeness was shaped to suit different moments in the nation's history.
