Wooden Figure

Carl Strehlau

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a male figure standing with a calm expression, draped in a red robe with a blue wrap over one shoulder. The material appears to be stone or terracotta, given its solid appearance and fine texture. The figure's hair is neatly styled, and its facial features are delicately carved. The statue stands on a decorative base with shades of blue and grey. This sculpture is presented in a classical style. The missing arms suggest an ancient or aged piece.
