George Washington Bust - Houdon Portrait Sculpture, White 6"

This portrait sculpture of George Washington is a reproduction of the original marble bust which was crafted by the great French neoclassical sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon.

Houdon lived from 1741 to 1828, and was one of the most celebrated sculptors of his day. He was commissioned to create sculptures of a number of American leaders, including Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson.

This sculpture of Washington, in the classical manner showing chest musculature, was the result of an invitation from Benjamin Franklin to Houdon to come from France to Washington's home at Mount Vernon.

On the underside of the black base onto which the replica is mounted is a label which provides interesting historical information about George Washington and Houdon. The base has 4 rubber felts to protect your fine furniture.
