The ''Bust of George Washington'' by Jean-Antoine Houdon is a renowned sculpture that represents one of the most iconic and historically significant portrayals of the first President of the United States. Created by the French neoclassical sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon, the bust is celebrated for its lifelike representation and the artistry with which Houdon captured the character and dignity of his subject.

Houdon was one of the most prominent portrait sculptors of his time, and he was well-known for his ability to infuse his works with the personalities of his sitters. In 1785, Houdon was commissioned to create a full-length statue of George Washington for the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond. To ensure accuracy in his depiction, Houdon traveled to Mount Vernon, Washington's home in Virginia, where he took a life mask and measurements of the President. This direct study from life allowed Houdon to produce a sculpture that was both physically accurate and imbued with a sense of the sitter's presence.

The ''Bust of George Washington'' is derived from the life-sized statue and is one of several versions created by Houdon. It exemplifies the neoclassical style, which was characterized by a return to classical ideals of harmony, simplicity, and proportion. Houdon's work stands out for its realism and the subtle details that convey Washington's calm and resolute nature. The bust is not only a work of art but also a document of historical and cultural significance, reflecting the esteem in which Washington was held by his contemporaries and by posterity.

The original busts and various copies are displayed in numerous prestigious institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Louvre in Paris, and the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. As a testament to its enduring legacy, the ''Bust of George Washington'' by Houdon remains a subject of study for art historians and a symbol of American heritage, capturing the likeness and spirit of a foundational figure in American history.
