In 2000, the Landsdowne portrait of George Washington (it had been on long term loan to the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC) was purchased from the (British) Landsdowne heir for the Gallery by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation of Nevada for a very large sum. The foundation also funded the painting's subsequent nationwide tour, for which this is the catalog. Aside from a chronology of the first President, the catalog features three essays, on Washington, on the portrait, and on the many other Gilbert Stuart portraits of Washington. Annotation c.
