Banknote motif: Portrait on George Washington in a decorative panel 1819 - 1837

This engraving by Asher Brown Durand, created between 1819 and 1837, features a portrait of George Washington, the first President of the United States. Washington is depicted in a classical style, with a stern expression and a formal pose. The portrait is framed by an elaborate decorative border, which adds a sense of grandeur and formality to the image. The artwork is a prime example of the American engravers' skills during the early nineteenth century and highlights the significance of historical figures in American society. It is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
