This particular portrait is one of several depictions of George Washington, the first President of the United States, created by Sharples. The artist is believed to have drawn from life sittings with Washington, capturing the President's likeness with a level of detail and intimacy that suggests a direct observation.

James Sharples's portraits of Washington are characterized by their soft yet precise rendering, a result of the pastel medium in which Sharples specialized. His portrayal of Washington often presents the President in civilian clothing, a departure from the more common military or state representations by other artists of the time. This choice emphasizes Washington's personal dignity and republican virtues rather than his military achievements or political power.

It provides a contemporary visual record of one of the most important figures in American history and reflects the esteem in which Washington was held by his contemporaries.
