Trick Bank

Edward W. Buechner

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a reclining figure of a man wearing a robe, lying on a surface that appears to be shaped like a brick wall. The man has a bald head, detailed facial features, and a right arm bent at the elbow with his hand raised near his face. His left arm extends outward, holding a rectangular object. The sculpture is primarily in dark colors like black and brown, and the robe has shades of dark blue and black with added highlights and patterns. The figure's pose gives a sense of relaxed realism.
