With meticulous attention to detail, Sharples captures the essence of this esteemed figure who played a pivotal role as one of America's Founding Fathers and served as its first President. Set against a backdrop of sketched trees, this framed color drawing on grey paper emanates an aura of strength and dignity that befits Washington's historical significance. It is worth noting that there are numerous versions of this iconic work scattered across British and American collections; many are copies produced by James Sharples Senior or other members of the Sharples family.
