The coin's reverse (tails) design portrays an artist wearing a painter's smock, painting outside Julian Alden Weir's studio at Weir Farm. It was inspired by various images of the studio and Weir's paintings created on the property, as well as descriptions of Weir and his fellow artists' creative inspiration from the rural environment. The inscription "A NATIONAL PARK FOR ART" is included. Additional inscriptions are "WEIR FARM," "CONNECTICUT," "2020," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
The obverse (heads) of the America the Beautiful Quarters Program Coins features the restored 1932 portrait of George Washington by sculptor John Flanagan. Required obverse inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "QUARTER DOLLAR."
