George Washington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gold-framed relief sculpture of George Washington. The sculpture depicts a white bust of a man with short curled hair wearing a dark blue military uniform with gold epaulets, a gold collar and gold trim. The bust is set against a light-colored background, possibly plaster, with some writing on the right side. The frame appears to be made of wood and is painted gold. The frame is rectangular with a recessed area containing the bust. The corners of the frame are slightly chipped and worn. The background behind the frame is light gray.
