Auguste-Hilarion, Comte de Kératry

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a male figure with a broad smile and closed eyes. It is made of a dark-toned material, possibly bronze, giving it a rich brown color with reflective properties. The surface is rough and textured, emphasizing the contours of the man's face and draped garment. The texture adds depth to the facial features, enhancing the three-dimensional quality of the piece. The sculpture is life-sized, showing a relaxed and joyful expression in the head and upper torso.
