Circus Wagon Figure: Pan

John Collins

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a figure of a man playing a pan flute. The subject is partially draped in a green garment around the lower part of his body. The material of the sculpture appears to be wood, with visible texture and grain. The color of the sculpture is a natural wood tone with areas of pale coloration, green, and beige. The man is standing upright, with one leg slightly forward, and appears to be leaning against a rough-hewn vertical structure. The overall posture and detail of the sculpture convey a relaxed yet purposeful stance.
