EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print of George Washington, painted by Adolf Ulrich Wertmuller in 1795, offers a glimpse into the iconic figure who shaped American history. Measuring 65x53 cm, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed in the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. George Washington, widely regarded as one of America's Founding Fathers and its first President from 1789 to 1797, played a pivotal role in drafting the current US Constitution. This painting captures his essence with remarkable detail and precision. Wertmuller was a Swedish portraitist who initially worked in Paris but sought refuge in Philadelphia during the tumultuous French Revolution. In November 1794, he completed his first portrait of Washington which became so popular that he replicated it numerous times. The image showcases General Washington as a soldier and commander-in-chief during the American Revolutionary War. His military attire exudes authority while his cravat and lace jabot add an elegant touch to his appearance. The intricate details of his wig and pigtail further emphasize the historical context surrounding this influential figure. As we gaze upon this timeless piece of artistry, we are reminded not only of George Washington's significant contributions to shaping American democracy but also of Wertmuller's skillful ability to capture both likeness and character through paintbrush strokes. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's past and pays homage to those who laid the foundation for our great republic.
