Figurehead

Ingrid Selmer-Larsen

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bust depicting a man with a confident posture. It showcases detailed facial features, including a distinctive hairstyle and sideburns. The man is dressed in a formal outfit, with a black open jacket, a white shirt with an emblem on the front, and a blue shawl over the shoulders. The sculpture appears to be made of a material painted in realistic skin tones for the face and a reddish-brown hue for other parts. The bust is presented at a close-to-life-size scale.
