Rare 19th century Chinese porcelain in the New York Metropolitan Museum features a portrait of George Washington. The vase, crafted by a Chinese artist, blends semi-Chinese and semi-European dress with slanted eyes. The likeness is strong, and the piece is valued for its esthetic curiosity and cross cultural appeal.
Washington discusses marriage with Count Chastellux and mocks the domestic felicity idea while highlighting his practical nature.

It emphasizes citizen duties, public opinion, restrained governmental power, diffusion of knowledge, and cautions against entangling alliances and excessive influence by party.

Isaac Weld, a contemporary of Washington, described the President at the end of his second term.
