Figure of Knickerbocker

Gilbert Sackerman

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a man standing upright while leaning on a walking stick with his right hand. He is dressed in period attire, which includes a tricorn hat, a long, dark coat, breeches, and buckled shoes. The figure's face is forward-facing with a calm expression. The sculpture appears to be made of a painted material, with a palette consisting of dark blues, blacks, and muted browns, along with a lighter, cream color for the shirt or vest underneath the coat. Positioned on a rectangular base with writing, the sculpture is depicted in a realistic, life-like manner in relation to human scale.
