EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a side view portrait of the iconic George Washington, painted by the talented artist Ellen Sharples in approximately 1796. As one of America's most revered figures, Washington played a pivotal role in leading the American Revolutionary army to victory against the British during the War of Independence. Following this triumph, he went on to become the first President of the newly independent United States from 1789 to 1797. The image captures Washington's distinguished profile, exuding strength and wisdom befitting a statesman. The use of color adds depth and vibrancy to his likeness, emphasizing his significance in shaping American history. This remarkable piece was reproduced from an original pastel painting created by James Sharples (1751-1811), further highlighting its artistic value. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back to the 18th century when America was forging its identity as a nation. It serves as a powerful reminder of Washington's immense contributions and enduring legacy as an influential politician who laid down strong foundations for what would become the United States of America. This print is part of The Connoisseur Vol. LXXVI collection published in London in 1926 and is now preserved by The Print Collector29. Its historical significance cannot be overstated, making it an invaluable piece for any art enthusiast or history lover seeking to connect with America's rich heritage through visual representation.
