 Noie-Speaking of this picture, MT. Elliot, in his History of the District of Columbia, says-'sThe most ancient, and the. only OnO extant of the hero at that time of day. Is the work of the elder Peale; was painted in 1772, full size and three quarters length; represents the Provincial c Colonel lin the Colonial unifOrms blue with scarlet facings, silver lace, and scar let under clothes, with sash and gOrgef, fuseey and inc hat usually called the Wolfe hat, which, from its size and shape, must have been better suited for service in forest warfare than would be the chapeaus of modern times.

 .'This is fine expressive figure, and said by his contemporaries to be Washington in the prime of life :; the countenance open and man ly, the mild blue eye, the whole bespeakinS intelligence, the dominion of lofty feelings, and the passions at rest"
