National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts the bust of a man with stylized features. The man is wearing a red coat with yellow detailing along the edges and a blue scarf around his neck. His hands are not visible under the scarf. A white shirt or garment is visible under the scarf at the collar. The sculpture has a rough, textured look, resembling painted wood. The man's face is painted with warm tones, and his hair is styled to one side with a reddish-brown hue. The sculpture is against a plain background.
