☻ The scene portrays a crucial historical moment titled "Washington's Interview with His Mother," where George Washington, aged 12 to 14 and dressed in 18th-century attire, engages in an emotional conversation with his mother, Mrs. Washington. She, kneeling or seated, exerts a decisive influence to persuade him to abandon a midshipman career, a pivotal choice in his early life. The setting, a modest yet warm room featuring a fireplace, period furniture, a table, and the presence of family members along with a dog, enhances the domestic and intimate atmosphere. The exchange, filled with gravity and tenderness, is beautifully captured in a vintage engraving style, highlighting the significance of this family moment. ► Vintage etching circa late 19th century.
