Painted in Philadelphia in 1779, Peale's painting was immediately sent to Europe to promote Washington's reputation as a leader and the cause of the American Revolution, then in progress. Later,during Europe's Napoleonic Wars,a Spanish duke with strong sympathies with American Revolution owned the picture. At that time he added the complicated carved caption to it, which describes Washington as“a liberator of his country who
abandoned absolute power.”
