Tea Store Figure

Ingrid Selmer-Larsen

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing male figure wearing a long robe, holding a rectangular object in front of him with both hands. The robe is colored in a muted blue-gray with a reddish-brown sash tied around the waist, and the lower part of the sculpture is a brownish hue. The man wears a dark cap and appears to have a solemn or neutral facial expression. The sculpture is made from material that allows for realistic representations and detail, standing on a round base slightly elevated from the ground. The color scheme involves earth tones and muted colors.
