"Of George Washington" by Gilbert Stuart is a renowned series of portraits that have become iconic representations of the first President of the United States. Gilbert Stuart, an American painter born in 1755, is celebrated for his masterful portraiture, and his depictions of George Washington are among his most famous works. The most notable of these portraits is the "Athenaeum Portrait," which Stuart began in 1796. This unfinished painting, which captures Washington in a dignified and composed manner, has been widely reproduced and is the image featured on the United States one-dollar bill.

Stuart's portraits of Washington were commissioned by Martha Washington, who desired a likeness of her husband. The "Athenaeum Portrait" was intended to be a pair with a portrait of Martha Washington, but Stuart never completed either painting. Despite this, the portrait of George Washington became immensely popular, and Stuart created numerous replicas and variations of it throughout his career. These portraits are characterized by their realistic detail, the dignified yet approachable demeanor of Washington, and the subtle use of light and shadow to convey depth and character.

The "Lansdowne Portrait," another significant work by Stuart, presents Washington in full-length, standing in a stately pose with a background that includes symbols of his presidency and the new nation. This portrait was commissioned by Senator William Bingham of Pennsylvania as a gift for British Prime Minister William Petty, 1st Marquess of Lansdowne, and it further solidified Stuart's reputation as a premier portraitist of his time.

Stuart's works have had a lasting impact on American art and culture, shaping the visual legacy of George Washington for generations. His ability to capture the essence of his subjects with both realism and idealism has made his portraits enduring symbols of American history and identity. Today, Stuart's portraits of George Washington are housed in various prestigious institutions, including the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, where they continue to be admired by countless visitors.
