gilbert stuart. it is not the one on the dollar bill. washington is in your wallet all the time. when he is painting washington in 1796, he writes a letter the moment he is doing it. it and says he has eyesidest set of ours -- i've ever seen. and what he paints is exactly the opposite. what he paints is exactly the controlled thing. what not what he saw, but we needed to leave. portraits are misrepresentations of the real character of washington because that is who he he thinks we need to believe. >> the writings from some of the soldiers describe the physical washington. was.ize, how imposing he he had a charisma or presence, also a power or muscularity that when he walked and everyone knew he was in charge. formerd to one of the members of the mount vernon ladies association and she reminded me of something i said. i said when he is young -- remember, all the portraits are of an old guy. we were only known -- what if we were known only of the portraits when we are old? i can make it easy for you. dong washington, think wayne -- john wayne, 1939 stagecoach. next that is not bad.
