"George Washington (1796)" is a renowned portrait of the first President of the United States, George Washington, painted by the American artist Gilbert Stuart in 1796. This iconic image is one of the most famous and widely reproduced portraits of Washington and is often referred to as the Lansdowne portrait because it was originally commissioned as a gift for the Marquis of Lansdowne, a British supporter of American independence.

The full-length portrait depicts Washington standing in a stately pose in a grand setting, which includes a table with quill and inkwell, books, and a sword, symbolizing his roles as a statesman and a military leader. The backdrop features a classical column and drapery, suggesting the principles of democracy and republicanism that Washington embodied. The president is dressed in a black velvet suit with white ruffles, a style that was fashionable among the American elite at the time.

Gilbert Stuart's mastery in capturing the likeness and character of his subjects is evident in this work. The portrait conveys a sense of dignity and gravitas befitting the leader of a young nation. Washington's expression is composed and serene, with a hint of the resolve that characterized his leadership during the Revolutionary War and his presidency.

The "George Washington (1796)" portrait is not only a work of art but also a historical document that reflects the respect and admiration for Washington among his contemporaries and the emerging American identity. The painting has been widely copied and disseminated, and versions of it have been used on the United States one-dollar bill and various postage stamps, cementing its status as an enduring symbol of American heritage.

Today, the original Lansdowne portrait by Gilbert Stuart is held in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be a popular attraction for visitors and a subject of study for art historians. Its significance in American art and history makes it a quintessential representation of the nation's founding era and its first president.
