George Washington 1840 - 1883

This decorative ceramic plate, created by French artist Emile Dupont-Zipcy between 1840 and 1883, features a detailed portrait of George Washington, the first President of the United States. The plate's design utilizes a monochrome palette, with the image of Washington rendered in shades of brown against a pale cream background, highlighting the subject's features with striking realism. This artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of a significant historical figure.
