From MountVernon.org:

"Following the success of Gilbert Stuart’s 1795 portrait of George Washington, Martha Washington convinced her husband to sit again to the artist in 1796, for a pair of portraits of the couple. Though Mrs. Washington implored Stuart on numerous occasions to send the portraits (now known as the Athenaeum portraits) to them, he never did. Instead, the painter left the life works unfinished, and used them as the source for numerous copies. There are approximately 75 so-called “Athenaeum-type” portraits of George Washington. Though each version is clearly based on the one source, eventually owned by the Boston Athenaeum (now jointly owned by The National Portrait Gallery and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston), the individual works often have distinct appearances, with variations in costume and/or background."
