The "Lansdowne portrait" of George Washington was completed in the fall of 1796 by American artist Gilbert Stuart, who made two other portraits of George Washington and other prominent American revolutionaries. The portrait was commissioned by Senator William Bingham of Pennsylvania for William Petty, Lord Shelburne, the first Marquess of Lansdowne and an American sympathizer who supported independence for the colonies. Bingham gave it as a gift to William Petty, Lord Shelburne, the first Marquess of Lansdowne and a British supporter of the American Revolution.
The portrait is full-length and oil-on-canvas. It shows Washington (then at 64 years old) renouncing a third term as president. It is currently on permanent display at the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution.
