Stuart’s portrait of President Washington (1795), called the Gibbs-Channing-Avery portrait, is one of eighteen similar works known as the Vaughan group. The first of this type, presumably painted from life and then copied in all the others, originally belonged to Samuel Vaughan, a London merchant living in Philadelphia and a close friend of Washington. This original portrait by Stuart, painted in 1795 according to Rembrandt Peale, was subsequently acquired by Joseph Harrison of Philadelphia. While in Harrison's collection, Rembrandt Peale copied it many times. The version now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, considered to be one of the earliest and best replicas, was sold to Stuart's close friend, Colonel George Gibbs, and subsequently descended in the Gibbs family.
 
With the use of both up-to-date technology and skilled craftsmen, this unique and high quality picture captures all the colour, craquelure, texture and character of an original painting. Each Oleograph is a master-piece in its own right and carefully hand-finished to recreate that timeless look and appeal of an original. Museum quality stretched cotton canvas 10oz.
 
Displayed in our popular GD2 composition frame with an antique gold finish.
