"Washington as a Farmer at Mount Vernon" is an oil painting by American artist Junius Brutus Stearns, created in 1851 as part of a series depicting significant moments in the life of George Washington. Stearns, known for his historical and genre paintings, sought to capture the essence of Washington's character and his life outside of his military and political achievements. The painting portrays the first President of the United States as a gentleman farmer, overseeing his land and slaves at his estate in Mount Vernon, Virginia.

In this work, Stearns emphasizes Washington's role in agricultural innovation and his reputation as a progressive farmer who was deeply interested in land management and scientific farming methods. The scene is idyllic and pastoral, reflecting the 19th-century romanticized view of the American landscape and its association with the virtue of its people and leaders. Washington is depicted in the center of the composition, actively engaged in conversation with an overseer, with the Potomac River and lush fields in the background, symbolizing the fertility and potential of the American land.

"Washington as a Farmer at Mount Vernon" is part of a larger cultural effort during the mid-19th century to create a national mythology surrounding the Founding Fathers, particularly George Washington. Stearns' series contributed to the construction of Washington's image as a man of the people and a moral leader with a strong connection to the land and the country he helped to found.

The painting is significant for its representation of Washington's life and the values of the period in which it was created. It reflects the complex legacy of Washington, who, while celebrated for his leadership and contributions to the establishment of the United States, was also a slave owner, a fact that contemporary audiences grapple with in the context of his overall historical impact. "Washington as a Farmer at Mount Vernon" is held in various collections and has been exhibited in several institutions, contributing to the ongoing dialogue about the representation of American history and its figures in art.
