Male Figure

Cleveland Museum of Art

Dark brown wooden statue of a male figure with a fabric garment. The figure has a tall, cylindrical hat, and the face features etched eyebrows. The eyes are small and circular. The nose is small and slightly upturned. The mouth is a small, straight line. The figure wears a tattered, greenish-brown fabric garment with frayed edges around the sleeves and bottom. The garment appears to be made of burlap or a similar coarse fabric. The figure's arms are bent at the elbows, with the left arm in front of the body. The hands are not visible. The figure's legs are thick and rectangular in shape. The feet are not visible, but there are green bands around the ankles. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The overall appearance of the statue suggests it may be an example of traditional or folk art.
