Plaster replica of Antonio Canova’s earlier marble sculpture of George Washington, who is dressed in Roman military armor as Cincinnatus, holding a tablet and quill.

This exhibition examines the echoes of ancient Rome that shaped the revolutionary spirit of the budding United States and how conflicting ideals of freedom and bondage—inherited from Rome—are baked into America's origins.
