Answer 1

Answer: It is considered the most accurate likeness of Washington ever painted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Peale's obsession as a kid with constructing a standard portrayal of Americanism's greatest hero gave him the guts to question the status quo. His effort to standardize portrayals of Washington began with the art of Patriae Pater (Father of His Country), which was purchased by Congress and now hangs in the Old Senate Chamber
