St. Joseph Carving

Stanley Mazur

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a male figure standing upright. It is wearing long garments with a part of the cloak draped over the left shoulder and wrapping around the body. The sculpture is predominantly in shades of brown and black, with the garment colors providing contrast to the lighter tones of the figure's skin. The material appears to be wood with a polished finish highlighting carved details. The figure is positioned on a rectangular base and has a solemn expression with stylized features.
