Richmond: Houdon's Washington

"That is the man himself. I can almost realize he is going to move."
-- The Marquis de Lafayette

Tracy L. Kamerer and Scott W. Nolley have written an in-depth article about Houdon's George Washington, the magnificent portrait in marble dominating Richmond's Capitol rotunda. The article, with its excellent photographs, is available on the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation website.
