Equestrian statue of George Washington, Bronze memorial in Place d'Iéna, France
The equestrian statue depicts George Washington mounted on a horse, created by sculptors Daniel Chester French and Edward Clark Potter in bronze material.
The monument was erected in 1900 as a recognition of French support during the American Revolutionary War when Washington led the Continental Army.
The statue stands as a representation of French-American relations, positioned in the 16th arrondissement of Paris near diplomatic institutions.
The monument remains accessible throughout the year at Place d'Iéna, with nearby metro stations providing convenient transportation options.
The sculpture combines French's expertise in human figures with Potter's specialization in equine anatomy, resulting in precise proportions and details.
