George Washington

Jean Ossaye Mombur

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a statue of George Washington. The statue is of a man with short hair wearing a military uniform. The man has one arm bent at the elbow and resting on his chest. The other arm holds a rolled-up document. The man wears a knee-length coat with epaulets on the shoulders, a waistcoat underneath, and high boots. A sword is at his side. The man stands on a circular base with "Washington - 1783" inscribed on it. The document in his hand appears to have writing on it.
