Jean-Pons-Guillaume Viennet

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bust depicting the upper portion of a human figure. It is made of bronze, with a rough and textured surface. The facial features are abstracted with heavy lines and exaggerated contours, giving it a stylized appearance. The proportions and shape of the sculpture suggest that it is larger-than-life-size.
