The Washington Family, c 1785
Sculpted by StudioEIS, Brooklyn, New York
These life-sized sculptures depict George and Martha Washington at age 53 and 54 respectively While General and Mrs. Washington never had children of their own, together they raised her two youngest grandchildren (also portrayed here), George Washington Parke Custis ("Washy") and Eleanor Parke Custis ("Nelly"), following the death of Mrs. Washington's son, John Parke Custis, in 1781. |
