George Washington

Emile Dupont-Zipcy

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white, circular object with a sepia-toned drawing of a man's head and shoulders on it. The man has short, curled hair and is wearing a dark jacket and white collared shirt. He is facing left. The words "G. WASHINGTON" are written in small letters at the bottom right of the circle. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The object appears to be a plate or medallion.
