National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing male figure dressed in formal attire. He is wearing a long blue cloak over a suit with pants and a vest. His right hand holds a rolled document, while his left hand holds a cylindrical top hat. The sculpture is made of color-rendered material, with grey for the suit and vivid blue for the cloak. The figure stands on a decorative plinth with ornate designs. The features of the sculpture are finely detailed, with sharp facial features and neatly styled hair.
