TheLansdowne Portrait is an iconic, life-size portrait of George Washington, painted by Gilbert Stuart in 1796. It depicts the 64-year-old president during his final year in office. The portrait was a gift to former British Prime Minister William Petty, the 1st Marquess of Landsdowne and spent more than 170 years in England before arriving in America.
Stuart painted three replicas of the Lansdowne, and five portraits that were closely related to it. His most famous replica has hung in the East Room of the White House since 1800.
