George Washington Gilbert Stuart (American, 1755-1828). George Washington, 1796. Oil on canvas, 96 1/4 x 60 1/4 in. (244.5 x 153 cm). Over the course of his career, Gilbert Stuart painted approximately a hundred portraits of George Washington, including four versions (three of which are original replicas) now known as the Lansdowne” portrait (named after the painting’s first owner). Although the grandiose scale and setting are typical of eighteenth-century European aristocratic portraiture, other allegorical elements allude to the formation of the young republic. Representing Washington in civilian clothing and with his arm outstretched in an oratorical pose, Stuart also included details such as the Great Seal of the United States; a sword and books, such as Constitution and Laws of the United States, that are symbolic of the first president’s military and political accomplishments; as well as a rainbow that refers to the era of peace following the Revolutionary War.

John Quincy Adams 1824 Thomas Sully American In his Hints to Young Painters” (published posthumously in 1873), Sully wrote, with regard to painting a portrait: The first sitting may be short, as pencil sketches on paper, of different views of the person, will be sufficient to determine the [composition of the portrait.” In one or possibly two sittings with John Quincy Adams during December 1824, the artist made this watercolor study from life, an oil study (location unknown), and a bust-length portrait (National Gallery of Art, Washington), before painting the final oil picture (Philipse Manor, Yonkers) In the watercolor, Sully worked in layered and transparent washes to record the light source, his sitter’s pose, and the room’s embellishments, while capturing something of the character of both the sitter and his office. The small sketch in the bottom margin of the sheet indicates that Sully contemplated at least one variation in the final pose. Adams had been one of four candidates in
