This portrait of the president, called the Gibbs-Channing-Avery portrait, is one of eighteen similar works known as the Vaughan group. The first of this type, presumably painted from life and then copied in all the others, originally belonged to Samuel Vaughan, a merchant, and a close friend. This original portrait by Stuart, painted in 1795 according to Rembrandt Peale, was subsequently acquired by Joseph Harrison. While in Harrison's collection, Rembrandt Peale copied it many times. The version now in the metropolitan museum of art, considered to be one of the earliest and best replicas, was sold to Stuart's close friend, Colonel George Gibbs, and subsequently descended in the Gibbs family. Our canvas is a certified museum-grade and designed to withstand the test of time. Durability, image clarity, and colour accuracy are our top priority, as we use archival inks to prevent fading and to preserve as much fine detail as possible with no over-saturation or colour shifting. Featuring a proprietary design, the canvas produces the tightest corners without any bubbles, ripples, or bumps, and will not warp or sag over time. Additionally, our canvas includes a finished backing with pre-installed hanging hardware that adds an extra level of style. This wall art is sure to become the focal piece of your living room, family room, great room, bedroom, bathroom, office, kitchen, dining room, game room, bar, or more.
