Product Details:

George Washington's Last Birthday by Henry Alexander Ogden portrays a touching and historically significant moment at Mount Vernon on February 22, 1799, the final birthday of the former president. The scene centers on George Washington as he prepares to escort his step-granddaughter, Eleanor "Nelly" Custis, to her wedding ceremony. She is shown gracefully descending the staircase in a white bridal gown, a symbol of youth and new beginnings, while Washington, dressed in formal attire, extends his hand to receive her with dignity and affection. Though celebratory, the scene is quietly poignant—Washington, standing proudly at the end of his public life, is seen surrounded by loved ones during a joyful occasion that would also mark his final birthday. Ogden's work encapsulates both personal legacy and national sentiment, making it a fitting tribute to the closing chapter of a founding father's life.
