George Washington is a 1780 oil-on-canvas painting by John Trumbull, depicting George Washington, the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and later the first president of the United States, standing on a bluff above the Hudson River. His enslaved personal servant, William "Billy" Lee, is on horseback behind him. The view across the river encompasses West Point, New York, with a red-and-white striped banner – possibly the Navy ensign adopted in 1775 – flying atop the fortress. Trumbull served on Washington's staff as an aide-de-camp early in the American Revolutionary War and painted this portrait from memory about five years later while studying in London. It was the first authoritative representation of Washington available in Europe and was soon copied throughout the continent. The painting has been in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1924.Painting credit: John Trumbull
My interests[edit]

I am an amateur radio operator |
As amateur radio I have been licensed since 1994 using now CW qrp and RTTY and occasionally other digital modes. I'm using French, English and Spanish to communicate. My hobbies are collecting photos of official post boxes from everywhere especially the pillar boxes because I suffer from puxisdiphterophily (don't worry it is good for health !).
I am also interested in heraldry. My other interests are astronomy and rugby. For further info please wait to let me time to write down on this page. See you soon ! ¡ Hasta pronto ! À bientôt !
