Product Details:

Portrait of Martha Washington by Rembrandt Peale is a refined and respectful depiction of the nation's first First Lady, capturing both her dignity and warmth. Peale, a celebrated early American portraitist, painted this image in the early 19th century based on earlier likenesses and family recollections, as Martha Washington had died in 1802. This portrait presents her in a lace-trimmed white cap and shawl, typical of the modest and virtuous style associated with the Revolutionary generation. Set against a subdued, warm-toned background, Peale emphasizes her steady gaze and composed expression, reflecting her role as a pillar of the Washington household and a symbol of republican womanhood. The painting complements his iconic images of George Washington, reinforcing the couple’s legacy in American memory.
