c. 1798 Engraved Print: "WASHINGTON," after the Lansdowne Oil Painting by Gilbert Stuart in 1797, Custom Framed, Choice Extremely Fine.
A gorgeous large mezzotint of a standing George Washington, marked "Painted by Gilbert Stuart, 1797," and "Given with the American Publisher", measuring 23" x 14" (by sight) the image on large a 26" x 17.75" sheet. It is professionally double-matted and beautifully modern framed to 31” x 22” with the print protected by special UV Tru Vue museum Plexiglas. It features president George Washington standing in front of a large column and an ornate chair, holding his scabbard sword in one hand, gesturing towards a table with documents and books, with a draped, open window in the background. Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) painted this classic oil on canvas image of George Washington for Lord Lansdowne in 1797. This is a strong vivid example which displays well due to its excellent contrast providing choice eye appeal. It is ready to be hung for display.
