OIL PAINTING "Examining the Flag" by Jennie Brownscombe, early 20th century. The painting depicts George Washington viewing a flag made by Betsy Ross. A young girl stands between Washington and John Ross, standing. Robert Morris is seated. Historians dispute the legend that Ross made the first flag of our nation, officially adopted by Congress on June 14, 1777, but the design is still called the "Betsy Ross Flag."
