American, 1755–1828
Gilbert Stuart (1755–1828) was an American painter born in Saunderstown, Rhode Island Colony. He became known for his portraits, including an unfinished painting of George Washington begun in 1796, which served as the basis for the image on the United States one-dollar bill and appeared on postage stamps. Stuart painted around 1,000 portraits, including those of the first six Presidents. His works are held in major museums in the United States and the United Kingdom.
