Lieutenant General George Washington, Equestrian monument in Washington Circle, United States.
The bronze statue features George Washington in military uniform, holding his reins with the right hand and a sword with his left hand.
Congress authorized the creation of this monument in 1853, allocating 60,000 dollars for sculptor Clark Mills to complete the project by 1860.
The sculpture reflects Washington's leadership during the American Revolution, with his facial features modeled after Jean-Antoine Houdon's famous bust.
Located at the intersection of 23rd Street, New Hampshire Avenue, and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, near the Foggy Bottom neighborhood.
The monument experienced temporary relocation during the construction of the K Street NW underpass in the 1960s and underwent repairs at Roman Bronze Works.
