Trumbull had served on Washington’s staff early in the Revolutionary War. He painted this from memory years later while studying in London. It was the first authoritative portrayal of Washington available in Europe and was soon widely copied. Trumbull would have known Lee, yet he chose to depict him in a turban, based on a European Orientalist convention associated with Black figures. An accurate portrait of Lee—whom Washington freed and granted an annuity in his will—is unknown.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/12822\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - George Washington and William Lee\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Trumbull","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887880020211,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (36\" x 28\")","offer_id":49887880052979,"sku":null,"price":1663.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 1\/4\" x 15 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887880085747,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 7\/8\" x 19 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887880118515,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30 3\/8\" x 23 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887880151283,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (39 1\/4\" x 30 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887880184051,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (47 1\/8\" x 36 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887880216819,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (55 1\/2\" x 43 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887880249587,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (66 5\/8\" x 51 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887880282355,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/GeorgeWashingtonandWilliamLee.jpg?v=1788976090","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/george-washington-and-william-lee","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
