A portraitist in oils and wax and also a worker in medal, Joseph Wright
was best known for his portraits of George Washington and his wife,
Martha, made possible around 1783 by recommendations to the Washingtons
from Benjamin Franklin. Wright did two types of Washington
portraits, three-quarter length busts, which are at the Maryland and
Pennsylvania Historical Societies, and profile busts, one of which is
in the Cleveland Museum. He also modeled a clay bust of
Washington.
