From wiki on Horace Greenough's George Washington commission:
Horatio Greenough based “Enthroned Washington” on Phidias' great statue of Zeus Olympios which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (and which was destroyed in late Antiquity).[2]

The statue depicted above is a recreation.

Greenough's work was completed in 1840, Eliphas Lévi's depiction appeared later, in 1850. It's most likely that both used the same iconographic treatment for their subject.

As I said in my last comment, I didn’t mean to imply the Washington statue was some sort of representation of Baphomet, I was merely nothing their occultic pose. It wasn’t coincidence.

I've always liked the spirit of Detroit statue as well.
