It’s not as if he couldn’t finish it. It’s just that he used it as the model for hundreds of other portraits, and made a small fortune that way. It’s the portrait of George that’s on the dollar bill, and it is indeed by…

Gilbert Stuart!

Very nicely done, SCAdian!

119

Yes, indeed. And here’s the painting: Athenaeum Portrait - Wikipedia

P.S. Bonus points for the 1776 reference.
