He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington.

Charles Wilson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum，which he founded in Philadelphia. The world's first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more real. The museum's most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge，extinct elephant，which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.
