President Washington and his family posed for Savage several times in New York City, then the nation’s capital, between 1789 and 1790. It took the artist seven years to turn the drawings he made of the Washingtons into this large family portrait, which was exhibited in 1796. On view in the West Building, Main Floor, Gallery 62. <a href="http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=561" title="http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=561" rel="nofollow">http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=561</a></p> <p>-----</p> <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/washington-family-1789%E2%80%931796-edward-savage" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/washington-family-1789%E2%80%931796-edward-savage#comments American Art American Painting Edward Savage For Kids George Washington Painting Learning to Look National Gallery of Art, Washington http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/66/661c011cee18b016/poster-image-07.jpg 661c011cee18b016 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:45:57 +0000 s-sarraf 8839 at http://artbabble.org
