He called it his nest egg" since copies of it
were so often in demand and brought him in so
much cash. considerable literature has risen
around the question as to which one of the
Stuart portraits of Washington should be con-
sidered the best. The latest contribution to it
has been made by Mr.. S. p Avery in privately
printed booklet This little volume, entitled
Some Account of the Gibbs Charming Portrait
of George Washington. Painted by Gilbert
Stuart brings together in handsome form all
the available information on the subject.
The following facts are contained in a letter
written by DR.. William F. Claiming when he
sold the portrait to Mr.. Avery in 1889. The
canvas he states. "is the representative picture
of WashingtOns first sitting to Stuart. in Sep

writer of this letter. The Gibbs Washington
has thus never been out of the possession of the
Gibbs-Channing family since it left Stuart's
hands" Mr. Avery further cites the opinions of
more than authority.
Mr.. Charles Henry Hart, widely known for his
declared that if the Gibbs-Channing portrait
had been known earlier it would probably have
become the accepted likeness of Washington,
ousting the AthenRum head from its proud posi-
ton. I'm the first place." he continues lit is
what the LansdOwne and AthenRum heads are
not; 1t is the likeness of n mana man who
has lived among men: firmness and gentleness,
power, all are depicted there. One feels that
Washington could have looked like this. and it
is not unlike the portraits painted by other
artists; but one can ever feel. thoroughly
satisfied that he did look like the LansdOwne or
the Athenaeum head n glance at the repro
duction we give will suffice to show the point
which has done most to secure for the Gibbs
portrait the suffrages Of critics. the work about
the mouth and chin which gives a more salts

found in other portraits. Mr.. Avery observes,
by the way, that this fine example of Stuart's
art is still in immaculate condition"
