In this video, children can learn about Edward Savage’s painting “The Washington Family,” which quickly became an icon of our country’s pride. President Washington and his family posed for Savage several times in New York City, then the nation’s capital, between 1789 and 1790. It took the artist seven years to turn the drawings he made of the Washingtons into this large family portrait, which was exhibited in 1796. On view in the West Building, Main Floor, Gallery 62. http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=561 ----- Find the Children's Video Tour at http://www.nga.gov/education/timetravel/index.shtm
