Are sitting on the desk. His wifes painting is a classic. Its Gilbert Stuart at his very best, i think. Lets walk along this wall. This was another stuart portrait painted while he was new york before he ever went to philadelphia to paint washington. This is henrietta. So many times these were done as a pair. Her husband was a newly appointed ambassador to the u. S. And they were newlyweds. This was painted right before they returned to england. An interesting thing about stuart as a painter is that he could be very slow. What henrietta wrote in her diary the thing about stuart, hes remarkable for being dilatory. Its amazing that paint draws so slowly in this country. Many people noted that. Stuart sometimes came through very quickly, but other times he just didnt even finish a work. He was very mercurial. This is such a beautifully done portrait with the color harmonies that stuart used for her. The beautiful linings and the peach and the way her bonnet is lined and the bow and the bo

In the midst of making replicas of the van portrait, he got another commission from Martha Washington for the portrait, x became the one that was used on the dollar bill and is the one that is modelled after. This one was a replica of the ahea athenium. This is the portrait of washington by stuart for that commission. Theyre not all exactly the same depending on stuart felt when he was doing the replica.

They have more seats, but do they have more power is the question. And thats going to be
