Happy 4th of July America!

This reproduction circa 1823 portrait by Rembrandt Peale is known as the “Porthole Portrait” and was painted 24 years after Washington's death. Peale based more than 70 versions of this portrait on a life study done of Washington in 1795, when the artist was only 17 years old and Washington was 63.
