Bernard Westmacott

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing figure in a tunic-like garment with a cloak draped over the shoulders. The figure wears a large headdress with tall plumes. It holds a rectangular object with both hands. The color of the sculpture appears to be monochrome. Relative to us, the figure maintains an upright posture on a plinth. The sculpture's design is linear and simplified without intricate detailing.
