George Washington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Oval-shaped, black and white portrait of George Washington. The portrait is in a black frame. The man has short, curled hair parted in the middle, with some strands falling on either side of his head. He's wearing a dark-colored jacket and a white, frilly necktie. The image is labeled "G. WASHINGTON" at the bottom. The portrait appears to be cracked. The background of the image is light gray.
