Portrait of George Washington
The portrait above the mantelpiece is a reproduction of the majestic 1776 Portrait of George Washington by Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827). Peale is believed to have painted this portrait in May of 1776 before many of Washington’s Revolutionary War victories. Washington is portrayed with the light blue sash of Commander in Chief standing with Boston harbor in the background, where Washington had won his first major campaign against the British.
