Photograph is from the original painted portrait of Washington by Gilbert Stuart. The painting shows Washington dressed in a black velvet suit with a white lace jabot at his neck. His lips appear swollen and his mouth uncomfortable, owing to a new set of ill-fitting dentures. For a person conscious of the impression made by his outward appearance, it would likely displease our nation's first president to know that the likeness taken at a moment of discomfort would become the best known. This oval portrait is matted and framed in an embossed beautiful dark wood frame, embellished with gold grape vines. Very good condition.
