  • The Virginia Capitol Foundation's Christmas ornament features George Washington, rendered in the marble statue French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon created from direct measurements he took from the future first president.

The article from Richmond.com discusses the unveiling of a new Christmas ornament at the Virginia Capitol, which features an image of George Washington. This ornament, part of a series celebrating Virginia's history, was designed by artist Robin Reed and depicts Washington in his Virginia militia uniform, reflecting his early military service. The ornament was introduced during a special event attended by state officials and historians, emphasizing Washington's significant ties to Virginia. The design aims to honor Washington's legacy while also highlighting lesser-known aspects of his life, such as his role in the Virginia militia before becoming a national figure. The ornament is available for purchase, with proceeds going towards the preservation of the Capitol and its historical artifacts.
