Title A name given to the resource Wedding Portrait of George Mason Description An account of the resource A portrait of twenty-four-year-old George Mason, wealthy Virginia planter and future political leader, commemorates his 1750 marriage to sixteen-year-old Ann Eilbeck of Maryland. Both the bride and groom were painted separately by John Hesselius, a popular portraitist for members of the Maryland and Virginia elite. (During the year following the wedding, the artist made six portraits of the Masons' neighbors, the Fitzhugh family.) The original Hesselius wedding portraits deteriorated so badly that in 1811 the Masons' son John had three copies of each made by French artist Dominic W. Boudet. The painting shown here, which currently hangs at Gunston Hall, is one of those copies. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dominic W.
