The "Bust of Benjamin Franklin" by William Rush is a significant work of American sculpture that captures the likeness of one of the United States' most influential Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin. William Rush, an American sculptor active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is often regarded as the first major American sculptor. His work on the bust of Franklin is particularly notable for its historical importance and its role in the development of American sculpture.

Created in the neoclassical style, the bust reflects the aesthetic preferences of the era, emphasizing the virtues of the Enlightenment and the intellectual stature of its subject. Franklin, a polymath who was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, Freemason, postmaster, scientist, inventor, humorist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat, is depicted with a sense of dignity and wisdom that befits his contributions to American society and the world at large.

Rush's representation of Franklin is not only an artistic tribute but also a testament to the sculptor's skill in portraiture. The bust likely dates from the early 19th century, a period when Franklin's legacy was widely celebrated, and such representations would have been in high demand. As one of the earliest American sculptors, Rush's work is critical for understanding the evolution of American art and the ways in which American artists began to forge a distinct identity separate from European influences.

The "Bust of Benjamin Franklin" by William Rush is an important artifact of American cultural heritage, reflecting both the artistic trends of the time and the veneration of a national hero. It stands as a reminder of the young nation's aspirations and the individuals who helped shape its founding principles.
