"George Washington (1797)" is a renowned portrait of the first President of the United States, George Washington, painted by the American artist Gilbert Stuart. This work is one of the most iconic and widely reproduced portraits of Washington and is often referred to as the "Lansdowne portrait" because it was originally commissioned by Senator William Bingham of Pennsylvania as a gift for the British Marquis of Lansdowne. Stuart's depiction of Washington has become a definitive image of the president and has been used on the United States one-dollar bill.

The full-length portrait shows Washington standing in a stately pose in a grand setting, which includes a table with quill, inkwell, and books, symbolizing his role as a statesman. His right arm is extended, and his left arm is holding a ceremonial sword, signifying his military leadership during the American Revolutionary War. The background features a rainbow, which represents peace after the storm of the war. The portrait is imbued with symbolic elements, including the classical columns and drapery, which evoke the principles of democracy and republicanism that Washington embodied.

Gilbert Stuart is considered one of the foremost portraitists in American art history, and his portraits of Washington are particularly significant. He painted several versions of Washington's likeness, but the 1797 Lansdowne portrait is perhaps the most famous and has been copied by Stuart and other artists numerous times. The original painting is part of the collection of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.

The "George Washington (1797)" portrait not only serves as an important work of art but also as a historical artifact, capturing the visage of the United States' founding father at the close of his presidency. Its widespread recognition and replication have cemented its status as a national treasure and an emblem of American heritage.
