This very early American Painting of George Washington is from the Charles Wilson Peale school.

The handsome portrait of George Washington shows him in his militia-style bold red fancy uniform and hat with his sword, its blade being partly visible at lower right. Washington is shown against a dark background, his name painted at the upper left, "G. Washington" in golden-yellow paint. In excellent overall quality with a few trivial light scuffs. A most handsome original George Washington Oil Painting on Canvas, perfectly ready for display.
