Notes

[edit]

George Washington sat for this portrait while he was staying at Rockingham (house), near Rocky Hill in Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey in 1783. The portrait is a pastel on paper (25.5 x 19.5), unsigned by William Dunlap (1766-1839); Dunlap was only 17 years old when he painted it. It now hangs in the Capitol Building in Washington, DC. It depicts Washingtons formal uniform while he stayed in Franklin Township.


Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1839, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
