Antique George Washington Art Portrait
27 March 2019
Description

20 x 28 inches Antique George Washington Art Portrait. It has been in our family for 5 generations. My 4x Great Grandfather Elias Baker Cady was George Washington's second hand man. That meant he was back then the Vice President to the first President of the United States. This is a very old piece, framed in a solid wood that was stained. It use to have the original paper backing, but it tore off. There is a broken piece of glass on the top of the frame. The glass is very thick. I have been told that this piece is worth a great deal of money. I'd like to see what your opinion is about it.

Provenance

My 4x Great Grandfather was second hand man to George Washington. This Art Portrait is very old, not sure exactly how old but I am the 5th generation to have it passed down to me. I inherited it.

Hi Georg, Yes I can send you better more focused images. It is actually Elias Baker Cady my 4x Great Grandfather who was George Washington's second hand man. I realized DL Cady my 2x Great Grandfather was the Mayor of Bremerton, Wa. Can I edit the name on the Art profile to the correct one? Thank you, Linda

Hi Georg, I could not get either of my other cameras to do a better photograph. I will have to get someone else's camera to take a better picture. I am going to be gone for the next 4 or 5 days. When I return, I will get new photos of the Art piece and upload them. Thank you, Linda
