George Washington

Antoine Bonnefoy

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Round, flat, circular object with a painted image. The image is a portrait of a man with white hair styled in a 18th century fashion, with the hair pulled back and tied. He wears a blue military-style jacket with gold epaulets on the shoulders, a tan vest and a white cravat. The background of the portrait is dark brown. The words "GEORGE WASHINGTON" are written in gold letters, one name on either side of the portrait, curving with the edge of the circle. The object has a plain gray background.
