IT has 1onp been baliavod

IT has long been believed that the
portrait of George Washington in the
white house is not a replica of the orig
inal by Gilbert Stuart, though bought
as such. Trace of the Baker replica
was lost after 1898, and there has been
suspicion that an English artist, VIM
stanley, who made several unauthor-
lied copies, palmed off one of the latter
on the committee which made the pur-
chase for the presidential mansion.
The full-length portrait of Washington
recently discovered on the Isle of Man
is alleged to be that for which Win
stanley copy was substituted, and how
it got there is now the question.
