1770s: Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington.
United States 1770s: Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington, shown emerging from darkness with a slow zoom that moves from a small illuminated image against a black background to a close, detailed view of his face. The painting captures Washington's powdered white hair, solemn expression, and dark clothing, rendered in soft brushwork typical of Stuart's colonial-era portraiture.
