The "Athenaeum Portrait" is a famous painting of George Washington created by artist Gilbert Stuart in 1796. This portrait is one of the most recognized images of Washington and was commissioned for the Boston Athenaeum, a prominent library and museum. Stuart's work captures Washington in a dignified pose, wearing a dark coat and white cravat. The painting emphasizes his leadership and character, contributing to the idealized image of the first President of the United States. Today, the "Athenaeum Portrait" is housed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
