The Lansdowne Portrait of George Washington is an iconic full-length portrait of George Washington painted by the renowned American artist Gilbert Stuart in 1796. Commissioned by Senator William Bingham of Pennsylvania as a gift to William Petty, the 1st Marquess of Lansdowne and a British supporter of American independence, the portrait has become one of the most famous and widely reproduced images of the United States' first president.

This grand portrait depicts Washington in a stately pose, standing in a neoclassical setting that includes a Doric column, a table with quill and books, and two legible papers titled "Journal of the First Congress" and "The Federalist." Washington's right arm is extended in a gesture that may suggest the act of addressing an audience, while his left arm rests on a set of bound papers, symbolizing the rule of law. The background features a rainbow, which appears following a storm and represents the peace and prosperity following the American Revolution.

Stuart's masterful technique is evident in the detailed rendering of Washington's face, the intricate lace and fabrics of his clothing, and the harmonious composition that conveys both the dignity of the office and the personal gravitas of the man. The Lansdowne Portrait is one of several portraits of Washington that Stuart painted, but it is particularly notable for its grand scale and the symbolic elements that convey the subject's virtues and the aspirations of the young republic.

The painting has a storied history, having survived the 1814 burning of Washington, D.C. by the British during the War of 1812, and changing hands several times before being acquired by the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery in 2001. As a result of its historical significance and artistic merit, the Lansdowne Portrait is not only a work of art but also a piece of American history that continues to resonate with audiences today.
