Now at the Frick Collection. I didn't catch from the article if they meant it's at The Henry Clay Frick House in N.Y or at the Frick Collection in Pittsburgh.
This was the only bright spot on NYT front page. They are filled to the brim with woe. You should go there for a laugh. It's like a newspaper run by some fer'ner with serious issues. So I didn't stay there. Just glanced.
Then read elsewhere, at the Observer. This photograph was pulled from Duckduckgo photos. The one at the Observer is cropped too much. But they do have one of George Washington nude. Antono Canova did that one too.
Ha ha ha. A Roman. Idealized. The marble version was destroyed in a fire. More deets at the link.

He would have shivered crossing the Delaware dressed like that. Doesn’t fit the Valley Forge image either. Did Romans have this problem when aping Greeks?
On the nude statue put on bigger ears, a potbelly and his pants around his ankles and call it "LBJ on his Throne"
I get why you've been making it so hard. I deserve that.
What I don't get is what you've done, in response. Why is it that everything I've ever had to say is entirely worthless to you?
Depicting George other than as an American has never worked.
This is why "citizens of the world" have a tough time here/
Kind of reminds me of a studly version of George C. Scott.
