George Washington 1797
Oil on canvas
Gilbert Stuart portrayed George Washington gazing resolutely from the canvas, confronting the viewer. Stuart animated the surface of the portrait by using quick, lively brushstrokes, such as those that delineate Washington's lace shirt ruffle and his wig.
Between 1795 and 1796, George Washington sat for three portraits by Stuart. This version, a bust-length image of Washington facing left, is an early replica of the Athenaeum type, so called because Stuart's original was owned by the Boston Athenaeum. Stuart made approximately 75 replicas of the Athenaeum Washington, which has become the iconic image of the first president of the United States, serving as the basis for his engraved portrait on the one-dollar bill. This portrait was painted in Philadelphia in 1797.

M3 and M5 Stuart light tanks were built between 1941 and 1944. Ironically, they're named for Jeb Stuart, who fought against the U.S. Army for the Confederacy during the American Civil War.
HMAS Stuart (DE 48) was one of six River-class destroyer escorts built for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The ship was laid down by the Cockatoo Docks and Engineering Company at Cockatoo Island Dockyard in 1959, and commissioned into the RAN in 1963.
During the ship's career, Stuart achieved a number of historical firsts: she was the first RAN ship to fly the Australian White Ensign, and the first major vessel to be homeported at Fleet Base West.
Stuart was paid off in 1991, a year later than originally planned; RAN commitments to the Gulf War saw several warships deployed to the Middle East, and Stuart was retained in service to boost local defence. The destroyer escort was sold for scrapping.
The first four ships of the River class were based on the Royal Navy's Type 12 frigate, and were intended to close the gap between ships and submarines in regards to anti-submarine warfare, following the rapid improvement of submarines during and after World War II.
Stuart was laid down by Cockatoo Docks and Engineering Company in Sydney on 20 March 1959. She was launched on 8 April 1961 by Bettina Gorton, the wife of future Prime Minister John Gorton, then Minister for the Navy, and was commissioned into the RAN in Sydney on 28 June 1963.
Stuart and the other River-class ships were fitted with the Ikara anti-submarine missile system: the first Australian-designed naval weapons system. Stuart was the first ship to fire an Ikara missile, during trials in August 1963.
Stuart was originally intended to leave service in early 1991,but the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait saw Australia commit several Adelaide-class frigates to the United States-led Coalition. Stuart was kept in service and deployed to South-East Asia from February to May 1991 in lieu of the deployed frigates.
Stuart was paid off on 26 July 1991. She was later sold for scrapping.
Her 4.5-inch Mk V/Mk 6 gun turret is on display at HMAS Stirling in Western Australia.
