乔治·华盛顿
circa 1793
John Trumbull captured George Washington in this striking 1793 portrait, opting for civilian attire rather than the military uniform seen in so many other depictions. The stark black coat and crisp white cravat frame a serious, contemplative expression, while the powdered white hair reflects the high fashion of the new republic's elite. Trumbull wasn't just any painter; he served as an aide-de-camp to Washington during the Revolutionary War, giving him a rare, up-close perspective on the man who would become the first president.
