Through Franklin's aid he was given

Gilpin observer., 1915-07-01

The last sitting given by Washing
ton was for Sharpless, who made a
mathematically correct profile which
furnishes the authority for the pro
portions of the subjects features.
OF all painters. none achieved more
than Gilbert Stuart, who. 1t Is general
ly agreed. has given to the world the
best likeness OF the man. Stuart's
success was probably due to the fact
that he kept his subject from self
consciousness by entertaining him. In
the two originals of this artist, and in
the twenty-six copies which he made.
he left noble personification of wis
dom and serenity to the American peo-
pie in the person of the first president.
In color and finish, as well as In life
like resemblance of features, no Wash
ington artist has approached him. At
the time of the Stuart sitting Wash
ington's mouth appeared rather unnat-
ural on account of two new seahorse
ivory front teeth which substituted for
the generals own. The failure of the
first portrait, which was destroyed,
was probably traceable to this fact.
The Stuart picture of Washington
standing with a sword in his left hand
was made expressly for the Marquis
of Lansdowne, who. was so delighted
with the canvas that he declared it
was only his advanced years which
prevented his crossing the ocean to

thank Washington for allowing this
picture to be taken.
Although several copies Of this paint
ing were made by Stuart. the painting
in the White House, so long consid-
cred his, was not done by that master.
1t Is the work OF an obscure artist,
who substituted his own copy for an
original which the government pur-
chased for $500.
Another interesting fact about this
picture is that during the time when
the British were in Washington in
1914 1t stood out in inclement weather
for several days. This was because
the man to whom it was intrusted was
afraid to keep 1t in his house for fear
of being punished by English invaders.
AS Stuart did not excel in represent
ing Washington's figure, this picture
does not meet all the requirements of
good painting. The hand is said to
be too small, as Stuart used the wax
model Of his own hand in making the
picture.
Stuart's famous Washington por.
trait. made for Mrs. Washington, was
never entirely finished, because the
artist always managed to delay com.
pleting the background. Finally,
Washington. after frequent sittings.
became annoyed and told the artist
that he would sit no more, but to send
the picture home when it was finished.
