George Washington

Emile Dupont-Zipcy

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a round plate with a brown rim. The plate features a sepia-toned portrait of George Washington. He has powdered hair that is curled and hangs to the sides. He is wearing a jacket and a white collared shirt. The artist's signature appears to be in the lower-left corner, written in cursive. The plate is set against a gray gradient background that is darker at the top and lighter at the bottom. A slight shadow is visible beneath the plate.
