"Portrait of George Washington" is a pastel artwork created by Ellen Wallace Sharples, an English painter known for her pastel portraits in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This particular portrait is one of the numerous representations of George Washington, the first President of the United States, and reflects Sharples' skill in capturing the likenesses and personalities of her subjects.

Ellen Wallace Sharples, born in 1769, was a prominent artist of her time, who, along with her husband James Sharples, also an artist, created portraits of many notable figures of the era. The couple emigrated to the United States in 1794, where they found a market for their work among the American elite. Ellen Sharples was known for her delicate technique with pastels, which allowed her to produce fine and detailed portraits.

The "Portrait of George Washington" by Sharples is significant as it adds to the visual historical record of the first American president. Washington was a popular subject for artists, and his portraits were in high demand during his lifetime and posthumously. Sharples' rendition of Washington is particularly notable for its attention to detail and the dignified representation of the president, capturing his iconic features and the aura of leadership that he embodied.

The portrait is also an example of the role that female artists played in the art world at a time when the field was predominantly male-dominated. Ellen Sharples' work, along with that of her contemporaries, helped pave the way for future generations of women in the arts.

While the exact date of the creation of this portrait is not well-documented, it is believed to have been produced during Washington's presidency (1789-1797) or shortly thereafter. The artwork is a testament to the enduring legacy of George Washington and the artistic achievements of Ellen Wallace Sharples. It remains an important piece within the broader context of American portraiture and the cultural heritage of the early United States.
