Carved Figure

Raymond Chard

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man in a formal military-style uniform standing upright. He is facing forward with his head slightly turned to the right. The man has a stern expression, short dark hair, and is holding a sword in his right hand. He is dressed in a dark blue coat with gold epaulettes, brass buttons, dark trousers, shiny black boots, and a matching hat with a gold tassel. The man is standing on a round, elevated wooden platform against a plain, light background.
