Tavern Bust

Walter Hochstrasser

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bust portrait of a person, depicted from the waist up. They are positioned with their body slightly angled to the right, while their head is turned toward the left, giving the viewer a good profile view of their face. The person has distinctive facial features, with pronounced cheekbones and a broad nose. Their hair is dark and appears to be covered by a large, black tricorn hat with a curved brim. They are wearing a brown jacket over a shirt with a red striped scarf around their neck. The person is crossing their arms across their chest. The background is plain and beige. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects in the image.
