Excerpt from Portrait of Washington
The likeness in the Equestrian Portrait which is now offer ed to Congress, is considered by Judge Washington and other competent persons, to be in no respect inferior to the Portrait exhibited last year; and for vivacity of expression and its adaptation to the historic character of the Composition, it is even thought to be superior. Perhaps no more appropriate scene could have been chosen for this employment of the canvass, than an allusion to the events of October, 1781, when all the valuable traits in the character of Washington were called into action, and the most determined bravery employed to aecom plish a victory which terminated our Revolutionary struggle. This selection of subject has the additional interest a orded by the introduction of the generous and youthful LA fayette, besides the Portraits of hamilton, knox and rochambeau.
