George Washington

begun 1795
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 723
Em março de 1793, Stuart deixou Londres e retornou aos Estados Unidos com a intenção de pintar um retrato de George Washington. Este é um dos dezoito retratos de meio tamanho de Washington virado à direita, conhecidos como o grupo Vaughan. Tem alguns elementos em comum com o primeiro retrato de Washington—um casaco vermelho marrom com botões amarelos aparece sob a pintura—, o que sugere que Stuart concebeu esta pintura enquanto pintava o retrato de Vaughan original. Os retratos de Washington feitos por Stuart são ao mesmo tempo realistas e icônicos. Nesta imagem monumental, os tons de pele habilmente modelados com sombras de tons de azul-cinza dão uma aparência de mármore ao rosto de Washington.
