Portrait of George Washington.

Physical Description:

This black and white print depicts a portrait of a seated man holding a sword in one hand and what appears to be a book in the other. The figure wears a black jacket and a white cravat. The figure’s expression is stern and his gaze meets the viewer’s directly. His hair is white and pulled back into a queue.
