Washington's Toes


George Washington
Washburn-Fair Oaks Park, 24th Street and Stevens Ave.  

I like the way George's toes extend out over the base of the statue.

This is a copy of a statue by Jean Antoine Houdon at the Virginia State Capitol. It was a gift to the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board at the bicentennial of Washington's birth, 1931.
