This is a print from around 1931-1932, of the famous unfinished "Athenaeum Portrait" of George Washington by Gilbert Stuart.
It measures 28 x 22 inches with the bottom 3/4 inch margin cut off.
This image was displayed in hundreds of public schools from the 1930’s till even now.
The original oil-on-canvas portrait was started in 1796 when Washington was 64 years old.
It was never delivered to Washington and remained unfinished.
The original painting is jointly owned by the National Portrait Gallery and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
This specific image, a print, was published by the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of his birth.
The "Athenaeum Portrait" served as the basis for the image of Washington that appears on the U.S. one-dollar bill.
