Garden Figure - George Washington

Zabelle Missirian

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture portrays a standing male figure in early 19th-century attire, with a detailed coat, waistcoat, and cravat. The colors of the sculpture are mainly muted blue and off-white. The figure's hands are visible, one over his stomach and the other holding a rolled object. The sculpture stands on a square greenish base. The attire is elegantly draped, and the facial features are finely sculpted with a serious expression. The base and stance make the sculpture nearly life-size.
