Product Details:

Washington and Lafayette at Mount Vernon (1784) by Thomas Pritchard Rossiter and Louis Remy Mignot illustrates a historical moment at Mount Vernon in 1784, when General George Washington hosted the Marquis de Lafayette. On the front porch at Mount Vernon, where George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette stand opposite one another, enjoying a relaxed conversation. Lafayette leans against a column, a copy of the Pennsylvania Gazette in his hand. At a nearby table, Martha Washington is sewing, and her daughter-in-law Mrs. Stuart, the former Mrs. John Parke Custis, reads a note. Mrs. Stuart's daughter, Eleanor Parke Custis leans against Mrs. Washington, her toy hoop and hat lie on the ground beside her. Just outside the porch, Mrs. Stuart's son, George Washington Parke Custis, plays with a toy cannon, assisted by an African American woman. Two dogs stand nearby, and sheep graze in the distance.
