Hitching Post

George File

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a male figure wearing a hat, jacket, and knee-length pants. The figure is painted in shades of blue, with a lighter blue complexion and darker blue clothing. The outfit includes a black jacket, a vest with a pattern underneath, and pants with red cuffs. The sculpture stands on a dark square base. The figure is captured in a stance, with one arm bent at the elbow. The overall appearance suggests the figure is in an active pose, looking forward, and is relatively small in size compared to human proportions.
