About the piece
This iconic 'porthole' portrait by Rembrandt Peale captures George Washington with a sense of classical dignity. Dressed in his military uniform with golden epaulettes, the first president is presented within a masterful trompe-l'oeil stone frame, a design Peale refined to honor the 'Father of his Country.'
