Next Monday, the United States will celebrate Presidents’ Day, which takes place every year on the third Monday of February. This federal holiday is intended to honor all American presidents, and especially George Washington (1732–1799). On this occasion, FAMSF would like to highlight one of the most famous portraits of the first president of the United States from their collection.
