Gilbert Stuart painted this life-size portrait of George Washington in 1796, the last year of his two-term presidency. The piece in @smithsoniannpg refers to Washington's past and present leadership:
??Washington is depicted as he appeared as president on public occasions: in a black velvet suit, a white shirt with lace ruffles, black stockings and shoes, and wearing a dress sword. It's the only full-length portrait that shows him as president, rather than as a general.
?The large books under the table—titled General Orders, American Revolution, and Constitution & Laws of the United States—point to his roles as commander of the American army and as president of the Constitutional Convention. The books on the table are titled Federalist—referring to the Federalist Papers—and the Journal of Congress.
?The ornate chair and table, the columns and the curtain (while fictional) represent the hall of Congress.
☁️?The sky in the background has dark clouds to the left, the symbolic storms that have abated for the rainbow on the right. #PresidentsDay

christine_ragland Symbolism, clues, references, meaning. All wrapped up in a masterpiece painting to remind us of how we began and what it means to lead and to be an American. Love this painting. Thank you for sharing the detail behind it.

sea_gary I have a full length framed poster of this image on my living room. Geo. Washington was not only the Father of our country but without his win over the British we might all be speaking with an English accent today.

green1237 Wonder if he could come back and tell us what they meant and how it all worked may be different from text books today

winstonsmithart Even though Lord Washington had a face that could stop a clock this painting is a masterpiece.
