Hand-colored, stipple engraving of George Washington.Shows half-length portrait of George Washington, seated facing right and wearing a military uniform with the Society of Cincinnati medal on his left lapel. He cradles a sword in his right arm and holds a map in his hands. To his left is a table holding a tricorn hat. Behind him is a drawn curtain revealing a landscape with rows of military tents on a plain in front of a mountain.; under image is eagle with shield and banner that reads "E PLURIBUS UNUM." Printed below the image is "F. Bartoli Pinx. / J. Galland Sculp. / His Excellency GEORGE WASHINGTON Lieut. Genl / of the Armies of the / UNITED STATES / of America. / Dedicated to Commodore John Barry and the Officers of the / Navy and Army of North America."

This print is after the print by David Edwin, which also gives the painter as "F. Bartoli." It was probably inspired by Washington's reappointment as Commander in Chief.
