Trapper Indian

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a figure of a man standing on a wooden platform. The subject appears to be an older man with distinctive facial features, dressed in historical attire. He wears a long coat draped over his shoulders, and his attire includes a vest, leggings, and boots. The man is holding an object close to his chest, which seems to be a scroll or document. At the side of the sculpture, there are various objects, including barrels and what appears to be part of a ship or dock structure. The colors of the sculpture are predominantly wood-toned, with shades of brown and muted blue. The material of the sculpture looks like it could be carved and painted wood. The overall presentation of the sculpture gives it an air of historical significance, and it is displayed on a plain, block-like pedestal.
