About the piece
Painted by Edward Savage in 1796, this monumental oil-on-canvas portrait captures George Washington and Martha Washington with their grandchildren, George Washington Parke Custis and Eleanor Parke Custis. The family is shown in a formal interior, gathered around a table featuring a plan for the new capital city, while an enslaved servant stands in the background against rich drapery and a glimpse of the Potomac landscape.
