Tea Store Figure

Chris Makrenos

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing human figure dressed in layered garments. The subject is adorned with a beaded necklace, and their hair is styled in a bun. The sculpture is a rich brown color, giving it the appearance of being crafted from wood or a similarly textured material. The figure stands upon a square base. The sculpture is intricately detailed with visible facial features, and the folds of the attire are carefully sculpted to provide a sense of depth and realism.
