EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Mrs. George Washington" showcases the elegance and grace of Martha Dandridge Custis, the wife of America's first president. Painted in 1835 by renowned artist Asher Brown Durand, this oil on canvas print measures 68.6x55.9 cm and is part of the esteemed collection at the New-York Historical Society. Martha Dandridge Custis, often referred to as Lady Washington, dons a fashionable bonnet that perfectly complements her refined features. The intricate details captured by Durand highlight her regal stature and timeless beauty. With a delicate headdress adorning her head and a mob cap framing her face, Mrs. George Washington exudes an air of sophistication befitting a first lady. Her gaze reflects both strength and gentleness, embodying the qualities that made her an influential figure during America's formative years. Displayed alongside its pair in another painting (see 149688), this artwork provides viewers with a glimpse into history while celebrating the artistic talent of Asher Brown Durand. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also recognize Martha Dandridge Custis as an integral part of American history – a woman who stood beside one of our nation's founding fathers with poise and dignity.
