Museum quality, George Washington Hand-Painted Miniature Oval Portrait, after Gilbert Stuart, Artist Signed "Parker", Brass Framed with early convex glass, Choice Extremely Fine. This original Hand-Painted Miniature is on period white natural material typically used for Miniature Portraits. George Washington's impressively executed Portrait measuring about 1.75" x 2.25" (by sight). Housed in an oval metal 2" x 2.5" gilt brass period frame with its original suspension loop at top and silk lined felt inset for backing, Artist Signed "Parker" having no date, the signature is located in the right field above Washington's left shoulder. The painted image has strong rich colors that shows George Washington wearing his fine civilian clothes in a chest-up pose with a rich aqua-green background. Some minor extreme outer edge wear at bottom is well hidden by its frame, clearly viewed under slightly Convex glass. This is among the very finest examples of early period Hand-Painted Miniature George Washington Portraits we have offered. An excellent museum quality, highly attractive specimen worthy of any fine historical or Presidential collection.
