Tradesman's Sign: Turk

Dorothy Van Dunker

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture shows a standing male figure wearing intricate clothing. He has a long red robe with a teal tunic underneath, a red sash around the waist, and red lower garments. The figure wears a black-grey turban on his head, has one arm bent near his chest, and the other arm extended downward. The sculpture stands on a square brown base, appears to be made from a smooth and solid material like wood, and is crafted in a lifelike manner.
