London: Published by D. Gally, 1801. Hand coloured mezzotint portrait, engraved by P. Dawe after R. [i.e. Joseph] Wright of Philadelphia. Sheet size:20 1/8 x14 1/4 inches. ON HOOL Rare hand coloured mezzotint portrait of George Washington. A rare image of Washington, three quarter's length in uniform, looking left, with his right hand on the hit of a sword and his left hand holding his hat, and with a battle raging in the background. "One of the rarest of the Wright type" (Carson Collection). Philadelphia artist Joseph Wright (1734-1787) painted and sculpted Washington from life at a sitting at the Generals headquarters at Rocky Hill, New Jersey in the autumn of 1783. Referring to a painting of Washington which Thomas Jefferson commissioned from Wright, Jefferson would write: "I have no hesitation in pronouncing Wright's drawing to be a better likeness of the General than Peale's." Wright was the son of Patience Wright, the prominent sculptor and secret American agent in Europe during the Revolution. Wright studied painting at the Royal Academy in 1775.
