George Washington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White ceramic statue of George Washington wearing 18th-century attire. The statue depicts him with a powdered wig and dressed in a white coat with gold trim, a white vest with gold floral patterns, white shorts, white stockings, and black shoes with gold buckles. He holds a hat in one hand and has the other hand on his hip. The statue stands on a round base with a gold line around the edge. A small rock-like protrusion is behind his right leg. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
