This hand-colored mezzotint portrait of George Washington by Joseph Hiller, Sr. was created between 1772 and 1782. The artwork depicts a three-quarter view of Washington in military uniform. His powdered wig, blue coat, and white vest are all clearly visible. The background of the portrait includes a tree, military equipment and a distant landscape. The detail and realism of the portrait showcase the skill of Hiller, Sr. The portrait is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
