General GEORGE WASHINGTON Engraved by NOEL LE MIRE, titled, “Le General Washington Ne quid Detrimenti capiat Res publica... Paris: Chez le Mire, 1780.” Engraved Full-length Portrait of George Washington, by Noel Le Mire, after the original paintings by Jean-Baptiste Le Paon and Charles Willson Peale, Framed, France, Choice Extremely Fine or better. A scarce impressive Revolutionary War Full-length Engraved Portrait of General George Washington, engraved by Frenchman Noel Le Mire, after the painting by Jean-Baptiste Le Paon (the face and figure of Washington were further based on Charles Willson Peale's 1776 portrait of Washington). The elaborate scene shows Washington in military uniform outside of his headquarters tent, holding important documents such as the “Declaration of Independence”, and the “Treaty of Alliance” between the United States and France, while overlooking a receding landscape with marching Continental Army soldiers in the background. In the foreground are seen numerous torn Documents and Proclamation Bills relating to British Parliament and King George III. Also, in the near background Washington's Enslaved Black Valet William "Billy" Lee, is shown depicted attending to General Washington's horse. Engraver Le Mire subsequently produced a companion piece to this portrait depicting the popular Marquis de Lafayette. Overall extremely handsome, trimmed to plate mark and mounted to heavy paper for framing and display. This extremely clean and attractive Print measures 18 3/4” x 12 7/8” on a sheet measuring 22” x 16 5/16” (by sight). The engraving is shown under special conservation UV Plexiglas, mat and in beautifully professional modern archivally gold-gilt wood framed to fully 26 3/16” x 20” ready to hang on display.
