George Washington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a cameo brooch featuring George Washington. The brooch is oval-shaped with a translucent reddish-orange stone. The stone has a lighter orange border around the edge. The cameo is carved with a profile portrait of George Washington, facing left. He has long hair that is parted in the middle and falls to his shoulders. He appears to be wearing a garment with a high collar. The background of the image is gray on the left side and white on the right side, with a vertical line separating the two colors.
