Several weeks ago, even in the midst of dealing with Congress, the general granted him two sittings in his house on Arch Street. Mrs. Washington has also sat twice for him. Though the portraits are far from finished, visitors have found that Peale has caught the general's best likeness yet-the bodily presence, ponderous but not paunchy; the look both determined and serene...
