The "Portrait of George Washington, copy after Gilbert Stuart 1755-1828 1855" by Thomas Sully is a notable example of 19th-century American portraiture that pays homage to one of the most iconic images of the first President of the United States. Thomas Sully, an accomplished portrait artist of his time, created this work in 1855, drawing inspiration from the original portrait by Gilbert Stuart, who is widely regarded as one of the foremost American portraitists of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Gilbert Stuart's original portraits of George Washington, particularly the "Athenaeum" portrait, have become some of the most enduring and recognizable images of the president. Stuart's portrayal of Washington was celebrated for its dignified and realistic representation, capturing the essence of the nation's leader. Thomas Sully's rendition, created several decades later, reflects both a reverence for Stuart's work and Sully's own artistic interpretation.

Sully, born in 1783, was a prolific artist known for his portraits of prominent Americans and Europeans. He was particularly skilled in capturing the character and personality of his subjects, which is evident in his version of Washington. By the mid-19th century, Sully had established himself as a leading portraitist, and his decision to recreate Stuart's famous image speaks to the lasting influence of Stuart's work and the continued reverence for Washington as a national figure.

The 1855 portrait by Sully is not merely a copy but a reinterpretation that showcases Sully's own artistic style while maintaining the integrity of Stuart's original composition. This work is significant as it bridges two generations of American art and highlights the enduring legacy of George Washington's image in the cultural and historical consciousness of the United States. The painting serves as a testament to the lasting impact of both Stuart and Sully in the canon of American portraiture.
