Consul General Sherman reports on the Isle of Man discovery of a likely Gilbert Stuart replica of Washington, believed to be the Lansdowne original. Owned by William Burrows in Douglas, Isle of Man, the 20 by 13 inch painting is for sale at $1,000 and appears to match the elusive genuine portrait in its handling, color, and preservation. The tale ties to a century of art theft and copyright disputes surrounding Stuart’s full length Lansdowne work and the Mount Vernon sale records.
