Bulto

Carl O'Bergh

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a human figure dressed in a long robe. The figure has a solemn expression with a detailed beard and hair in a stylized, historical style. The sculpture is brownish-reddish, with the robe primarily in red and the exposed parts of the figure in a darker tone. The material looks like wood or a similar substance carved into a standing figure. The sculpture stands upright with both arms slightly bent at the elbows, and the base is cylindrical and wide.
