Question: Who painted this famous painting!?
My World History teacher wants us to be sure to include the artists of all of our pictures we use in our slideshows!. This painting of George Washington seems to be the most popular one but I can’t find out who it's by!.

If the author is unknown or you don’t feel like trying to find out, I really could use any picture of George Washington, so if you know of one with the artist’s name, that’d be great too!

Thanks so much!. The sooner the better!
