Hitching Post

George E. Rhone

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a figure of a man with exaggerated features, dressed in a bright red jacket and white pants. On his head, he wears a yellow hat with a broad brim. His left arm is bent, with the hand holding what appears to be a round object. The surface of the sculpture suggests it is made of a solid material, given its shiny appearance. The man's shoes are black and his shirt underneath the jacket is white, with a blue tie. The sculpture is designed as a full-figure piece, appearing to stand on its own.
