"Have you seen the picture of Washington Praying at Valley Forge?"

Speaking of recordings and "actual qutoes," was that picture a photograph, or was it a painting by someone with perhaps his own agenda?

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Well, obviously not a photograph.

Certainly someone capturing an impression they had read about.

Whether a Cherry Tree moment or not is insignificant. The symbolism of Washington's faith fits in well with his adopted daughter's writings about him.
