| Object history |
English: The original, now owned by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, commissioned by the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania for its council chamber in Independence Hall in Philadelphia, was completed in early 1779, when Washington sat for Peale in Philadelphia. Of the estimated 18 replicas, the superlative Senate picture is the earliest recorded one that Peale made.The Senate picture was purchased from the artist by the French Ambassador Conrad-Alexandre Gerard, probably on behalf of Louis XVI. |
