What reading level is Three Types of Washington Portraits; John Trumbull, Charles Wilson Peale, Gilbert Stuart book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


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.

...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. At first sight it seems as if the flag were composed of stripes alone, but a careful examination discloses one star and the intimation of a blue field. The banner of the Dublin portrait, however, is a plain blue field with a circle of thirteen stars — an earlier de- vice^ It would appear, therefore, that this por- trait must have been painted earlier than the Princeton portrait.
