George Washington

Amerikaanse portretkunst, ca. 1800

This painting is a portrait of a man from his chest up. He is positioned slightly angled to the left and looks directly at us. His skin is pale, and he has rosy cheeks, deep-set, dark eyes, a long, straight nose, and thin lips set in a neutral expression. His hair is light gray, combed back from his face and curled above his ears. He is wearing a black coat over a white, high-collared shirt and a white lace cravat. The background is dark brown.
