United States Capitol rotunda

===George Washington===
A statue of [[George Washington (Houdon)|George Washington]] – a copy after French neo-classical sculptor [[Jean-Antoine Houdon]]'s 1790 full-length marble in the [[Virginia State Capitol]] – holds a prominent place. [[William James Hubard]] created a plaster copy after Houdon, that stood in the Rotunda from the late-1850s to 1934. It is now in the [[Smithsonian American Art Museum]].<ref>[http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?uri=full=3100001~!112695~!23&ri=19&aspect=basic&menu=search&source=~!siartinventories&profile=ariall George Washington (sculpture)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160202062513/http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?uri=full=3100001~!112695~!23&ri=19&aspect=basic&menu=search&source=~!siartinventories&profile=ariall |date=February 2, 2016 }}, from Smithsonian Institution Research Information System.</ref> The present bronze copy replaced Hubard's plaster copy in 1934.<ref>[http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=1453LY5809O31.120991&profile=ariall&source=~!siartinventories&view=subscriptionsummary&uri=full=3100001~!4801~!22&ri=3&aspect=Browse&menu=search&ipp=20&spp=20&staffonly=&term=Houdon,+Jean+Antoine,+1741-1828,+sculptor.+(copy+after)&index=AUTHOR&uindex=&aspect=Browse&menu=search&ri=3 George Washington (sculpture)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160202103619/http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=1453LY5809O31.120991&profile=ariall&source=~!siartinventories&view=subscriptionsummary&uri=full=3100001~!4801~!22&ri=3&aspect=Browse&menu=search&ipp=20&spp=20&staffonly=&term=Houdon,+Jean+Antoine,+1741-1828,+sculptor.+(copy+after)&index=AUTHOR&uindex=&aspect=Browse&menu=search&ri=3 |date=February 2, 2016 }}, from SIRIS.</ref>
