This Wedgwood cameo portrait of George Washington, dating to c. 1790, is a striking example of Neoclassical style. The white cameo, depicting Washington in profile, is set against a black jasper ground and framed in gilt bronze. The frame features a laurel wreath and a crown, symbols of victory and power, further emphasizing Washington’s stature as a leader. The cameo is now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, where art enthusiasts can admire its craftsmanship and historical significance.
