Answer 2

Many early portraits of George Washington, like that painted by Gilbert Stuart, were modeled after traditional depictions of European Kings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) painted a portrait of George Washington (1732–1799) for the first time in 1796. Other artists were:

• Charles Wilson Peale, in 1772
• Pierre Eugene du Simitere, in 1779
• Joseph Wright, in 1783
• Robert Edge Pine, in 1785
• John Ramage, in 1789

Many of the early portraits of Washington were inspired on those portraits of European Kings, based on the Grand Manner portraits, such as the one of Louis XIV.
