The expression of the Commander-in-Chief is particularly pleasing and the painting has been much admired by those who have examined it. The picture is carefully painted and the can- vas is entirely untouched and clean and spotless, as when it left the easel. In all probability, the picture was painted between the years 1780 and 1783. The portrait of Washington hanging in the Faculty room of old Nassau, in Princeton, was painted in the latter year. 23 Digitized by Google THREE TYPES OF WASHINGTO...N PORTRAITS As may be seen by examining the reproduc- tion of the latter portrait on another page, the banner displayed over the head of the General is the stars and stripes.
