Houdon was commissioned to create the statue for the state of Virginia. He stayed at Mount Vernon for a couple of weeks, studying his subject and creating a life-mask, and then completed the sculpture back home in France. It was installed in the Capitol's rotunda in 1796. As with many of Houdon's works, the statue was widely reproduced, and the bust was also reproduced with variations in the clothing. \u003cspan\u003eWe created the mask from the bust, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.capronicollection.com\/products\/george-washington-item-201\"\u003eItem 201\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist: Jean-Antoine Houdon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuseum\/Location: Virginia State Capitol, Richmond, VA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTime Period: Modern- Neoclassical, 1785-1792\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1911 Catalog ID # - 5475 (fragment)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSources:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHirayama, Hina. \"Busts of Franklin and Lafayette by Jean-Antoine Houdon.\" \u003cem\u003eAcquired Tastes: 200 Years of Collecting for the Boston Athenæum,\u003c\/em\u003e edited by Stanley Ellis Cushing and David B.
