Martha Washington is usually portrayed as an matronly 70 year-old woman. But portraitist Michael Deas has created an image of her where she appears to be a young socialite.
The image, says the artist's website,
was based primarily on a computer generated age-regression image created by an Louisiana State University forensic anthropologist. Contrary to popular belief, Martha Washinton was not a dowdy matron, but a witty, astute, and a rdent patriot who followed her husband into battle, even encamping with him during the bitter winter at Valley Forge. The portrait is the Nation’s first glimpse at what Martha Washington looked like prior to her marriage to her famous husband.
