"George Washington and his Family" is a historical painting by the American painter Jean-Leon Gerome Ferris (1863–1930), who was known for his series of 78 scenes from American history entitled "The Pageant of a Nation", the largest series of American historical paintings by a single artist. Ferris, often referred to as "the American Meissonier" and "the dean of American historical painters," was a student of the French painter Jean-Léon Gérôme and adopted a similar name to honor his teacher.

The painting "George Washington and his Family" depicts the first President of the United States, George Washington, seated at a table with his family around him in an intimate domestic setting. The artwork is an idealized representation of the private life of Washington, showcasing him not only as a national hero but also as a family man. The figures of Martha Washington, his wife, as well as his step-children, grandchildren, and perhaps other relatives or close associates, are typically included to create a warm, familial atmosphere.

Ferris's work is characterized by its attention to detail and its attempt to convey historical accuracy, though it often reflects the patriotic and romanticized view of American history that was popular during his time. His paintings were widely distributed in the form of prints and were used in schools to teach American history, thus influencing the popular image of historical figures and events in the United States.

"George Washington and his Family" is part of Ferris's legacy of creating accessible historical narratives through art. While his work is not always considered historically accurate by modern standards, it remains an important part of early 20th-century American cultural and artistic history. The painting is an example of how art contributes to the shaping of national identity and public memory. As with many of Ferris's works, the painting is likely to be held in a private collection or as part of the public holdings of an institution dedicated to American history or art.
