Alexandre Lecomte

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bust of an older man with defined facial features. The man has deep-set eyes, a pronounced nose, and pronounced lips. He has a serious expression and wears a scarf around his neck. The sculpture is dark in color, resembling bronze, and has an uneven surface texture that reflects light in patches, giving it a glossy appearance in some areas. It is a roughly textured, dimensional representation with heavy features elevated from a textured background, demonstrating the artist's technique in capturing the likeness with bold strokes.
