ten feet in height, and represents the
father of his country as a Jupiter
ronans in sitting posture. The figure
is naked to the waist, and thence n
Roman toga falls gracefully, covering
the legs and knees, exposing the feet
bound in sandals of most ancient pat

index finger pointing to the meridian,
and the right hand holds a sheathed
sword. Art critics commend the artist
Tor the likeness of Washington, for the
head is modelled after the painting and
molding of Houdon, the great French
master of the last century. But the
conception OF Washington in a Roman
toga, with sandals ON his feet, is re-

achronism which ought never to have
been perpetrated. The work ia also

further development of the Roman idea,
