Trumbull, in his Autobiography, p, 164, says that in July, 1790, he returned to New
York, where he was requested "to paint for the corporation a full length portrait of the
President," He "represented him In full uniform, standing by a white horse, leaning
his arm upon the saddle; in the background, a view of Broadway in ruins, as it then was
[1783], the old fort at the termination; British ships and boats leaving the shore, with
the last of the officers and troops of the evacuating army, and Staten Island in the
distance," According to the Minutes of the Common Council {MS.), X: 13, Trumbull

The original sketch (20 x 30 Inches), by Trumbull, from which the portrait was
made, was owned in 1892, by Edmund Law Rogers of Baltimore, Md, This sketch is
referred to in the will of Martha Washington (owned by J. Pierpont Morgan): "Item
I give and bequeath to my granddaughter, Elizabeth Parke Law the dressing-table
and glass that stands In the chamber called the yellow room, and General Washing¬
ton's picture painted by Trumbull,"—Hist, of the Centennial Celebration of the Inaugu¬
ration of George Washington (etc), 545,

Washington's Diary contains several references to this sketch; for example,

drawing a portrait of me at full length which he intended to present to Mrs. Washington.
