Joseph, Baron de Podenas

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bust of a figure with exaggerated facial features made of a dark bronze or similar metal. It has a rough, uneven surface finish. The sculpture appears larger-than-life with dynamic form from the face to the shoulders and base, giving it an abstract quality.
