The title is "George Washington" by the artist Horatio Greenough. A white marble bust of a man with short, wavy hair is shown. The man has a stern expression on his face, with his eyebrows slightly furrowed and his lips pressed together. He is depicted from the chest up, with his shoulders and arms not sculpted, providing a clean and simple base that tapers down to a small pedestal. The background of the image is a gradient gray color.
