George Washington points at some plants

George Washington gestures to his crops with a pointed stick in "Life of George Washington: The Farmer." The artwork is a black-and-white print of a full-color painting by Junius Brutus Stearns, circa 1853. Washington stands among workers harvesting hay; the workers are almost certainly slaves, since Washington was a slaveholder. His home, Mt. Vernon, is visible in the background.
