George Washington 1882 - 1914

John Quincy Adams Ward’s bronze sculpture, "George Washington," is a life-size depiction of the first U.S. president in a classical pose. The sculpture, created between 1882 and 1914, portrays Washington in a thoughtful pose, with his right hand resting on a column and his left hand holding his cloak. The detailed rendering of the figure and its classical composition exemplify the Neoclassical style, which was popular in the late 19th century. This artwork is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
