This bronze sculpture, "George Washington," created by John Rogers in 1875, portrays the iconic figure in a contemplative pose, holding his hat and cloak, as he gazes thoughtfully into the distance. Rogers, known for his popular "groups" - small-scale, multiple-figure sculptures depicting everyday scenes - captured the solemnity and strength of the Founding Father, making him a powerful symbol of American history. Today, the sculpture is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
