First Ladies and Slavery - Photo 2
This painting by Edward Savage, titled The Washington Family (1789-1796), shows the Washingtons at their Mount Vernon estate. It is rare, as there is an enslaved servant depicted in the background of the painting. Indeed, the Washingtons would have been surrounded by enslaved servants in their home.
