Painting Description
"George Washington (1732–99) with his Family and Black Servant" is a historical painting by American artist Edward Savage, created circa 1789-1796. The artwork is a group portrait that depicts the first President of the United States, George Washington, alongside his immediate family and an African American servant. The painting is significant for its representation of the Washington family during a pivotal time in American history, as it captures the private life of a public figure who played a central role in the founding of the nation.
In the painting, George Washington is seated at a table with his wife, Martha Washington, and her two grandchildren, whom they raised: George Washington Parke Custis and Eleanor Parke Custis. The inclusion of the black servant in the composition reflects the historical context of slavery in America during Washington's lifetime. The servant's presence in the family portrait is a reminder of the complex relationship between the founding fathers and the institution of slavery.
Edward Savage, the artist, was known for his portraits and historical scenes. His portrayal of the Washington family is one of the many artistic efforts to capture the likeness and domestic life of the first president. The painting is rendered with attention to detail and conveys a sense of dignity and poise befitting the subjects' social standing.
The artwork is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and it continues to be an important piece for its artistic merit and historical significance. It provides insight into the personal life of George Washington and serves as a visual document of the era in which he lived. The painting is often studied for its depiction of the Washington family and the nuanced representation of race and social hierarchy in the early United States.
