George and Martha Washington by Ellen G Miles

George and Martha Washington sat for about two dozen portraits between 1789 and 1797, collected here in this volume. It suggests that what they all reflect is the great need the new Republic had for portraits of its first chief executive. The book offers a portrait of the original First Couple.

Ellen G. Miles is Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian. Edmund Morgan is Sterling Professor of History Emeritus at Yale University.
