George Washington

Amerikanische Malerei 1858–1865, 1859

The painting is a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is slightly turned to the left. He has pale skin, a long nose, deep-set eyes, and thin lips set in a neutral expression. He has pale gray hair styled back from his face. He is wearing a military uniform with a dark blue coat, yellow lapels, gold buttons, and gold epaulettes. A white cravat is tied around his neck. The background is a gradient of brown and gray, darker near the edges of the painting and lighter around the man.
