George Washington Portrait Business Card Case

This iconic portrait of George Washington, an American hero, by Gilbert Stuart captures the essence of America’s first President in all his stoic glory. Painted in March 1795, Washington famously disliked posing for portraits, so Stuart completed it swiftly. To emphasize Washington’s impressive height and importance, Stuart positioned him high within the canvas and added a glowing halo effect—symbolizing the "Father of our Country." Named the “Vaughan Portrait” after its first owner, Samuel Vaughan, this masterpiece is one of the most recognized images of Washington. Known as a Founding Father, a revolutionary military leader, and a dedicated farmer at Mount Vernon, Washington was also a statesman who foresaw the dangers of political division. Disheartened by growing party allegiances, his Farewell Address urged Americans to prioritize unity over factionalism—a message that remains strikingly relevant today. This portrait makes an excellent gift for history buffs, patriots, or anyone inspired by Washington’s legacy and leadership. In fact, why not gift this for boss’s day (October 16).
