I'm digging into the Connecticut archives for an image of George Washington on his birthday.
The most famous bust of Washington is a marble bust by Jean-Antoine Houdon in the mid-1780s. Beginning in the 1850s, other artists began making bronze busts of Washington based on the Houdon marble original. This bust by an unknown artist is in the Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury, Connecticut.
Happy birthday, General Washington.

Very well done.
Nice one, Jack.
Always good to celebrate our founding father.
It's a very clever bust too.
