Portrait of Washington Canvas Print

This is a reproduction of Gilbert Stuart's "The Athenaeum" which was begun in 1796. Stuart never finished the original painting and sold his own copies of it for $ 100 each. He was forty-one when he produced this masterpiece which has been used as the template for the one-dollar bill and many United States postage stamps and other documents. Stuart went on to become the foremost American portraitist and completed paintings of the first six American presidents. Originally from Rhode Island, he died on July 9, 1828. The original of this masterpiece measures 88 by 101 cm and is in the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, Massachusetts.
