4. Background Info During his lifetime, George Washington sat for many painters and sculptors. He did not particularly enjoy sitting for artists, but he accepted their requests out of a sense of duty and an appreciation for his role in the country. Gilbert Stuart, one of the most talented portrait painters in American history, was the artist for this portrait. It was arranged and paid for by Senator and Mrs. William Bingham of Philadelphia as a gift to the Marquis of Lansdowne, a British admirer of Washington. Stuart understood the importance of his subject and wanted to create a portrait for posterity – one whose significance would last a long time. He thought carefully about the most meaningful way to portray Washington, the leader of the country and a symbol of the nation’s great experiment.

5. To help him depict Washington’s face more accurately, Stuart asked the President to sit for him. Although tired of sitting for artists, Washington agreed. Stuart then completed the rest of the painting without Washington present. Later on, he asked someone else to stand in for Washington so he could add the body. Stuart painted Washington wearing clothes typical of an eighteenth-century gentleman. The black velvet suit is a good clue that this man is a civilian President, not a king or a military ruler. As President, Washington wore black velvet on official occasions. This is the first full-length portrait painted of Washington as head of the government, wearing civilian clothes instead of his military uniform.

6. By the time he sat for this portrait, Washington’s public and political careers were ending. Many people think he looks as if he is about to give a speech. However, near the end of his second term, when Washington decided not to run for President again, he did not give a speech. Instead, he wrote a farewell address that was published in a Philadelphia newspaper. It was printed in a newspaper so that as many Americans as possible could read his reason for retiring and his hopes for the country’s future. Washington has one of the most familiar faces in American history. From his days as the commanding general of the army in the American Revolution until long after his death in 1799, he has been a popular subject for artists. One of the most familiar portraits of Washington is on the dollar bill. That portrait is based on another painting by Stuart known as the “Athenaeum” port
