"Pair of Portraits of George and Martha Washington" is a notable set of paintings by the American folk artist William Matthew Prior (1806–1873). Created in the mid-19th century, these portraits depict the first President of the United States, George Washington, and his wife, Martha Washington, reflecting the enduring interest in the founding figures of the United States during that era. Prior, known for his work as a portraitist in the folk art tradition, often provided accessible art to a broader audience that might not have been able to afford the more expensive works of academically trained artists.

The portraits are executed in Prior's distinctive style, characterized by a flatness of form, a focus on detail, and a use of vibrant colors that were somewhat atypical of the more classical portraiture of the time. This style aligns with the aesthetic of the American folk art movement, which was less concerned with strict adherence to realism and more with capturing the essence and character of the subjects.

William Matthew Prior's work is significant in the study of American art history, as it represents the democratization of portraiture in the 19th century. His portraits of the Washingtons are particularly important as they contribute to the visual legacy of the nation's founding figures, serving both as historical records and as examples of the folk art tradition. The "Pair of Portraits of George and Martha Washington" not only highlights Prior's skill as a folk artist but also reflects the cultural and historical reverence for the first President and his wife during a period of rapid national expansion and identity formation.

These paintings are often studied within the context of American folk art and are considered valuable pieces for their representation of American cultural and political heritage. As with many of Prior's works, these portraits are appreciated for their historical significance and as an expression of the era's popular taste and the accessibility of art to the middle class.
