George Washington is a life-size marble statue of George Washington by the English sculptor Sir Francis Chantrey created in 1826 and dedicated in November 1827. It depicts Washington as a Roman Senator and is in Doric Hall of the Massachusetts State House in Boston, Massachusetts.
The Statue depicts Washington wearing his typical general's Uniform under a Roman-style toga. The sculptor created him in this regalia to highlight Washington's role as a statesman.
An empty pedestal sits beneath the statue. Chantry believed that Washington would be recognizable to all, and that his piece did not need a name plate.
