Cast Iron Dobbie: Jockey

Paul Poffinbarger

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a jockey standing in a confident pose. The jockey is dressed in a rust-colored jacket with white stripes on the sleeves and white riding pants, complemented by dark brown boots. The sculpture is made of a material with a metallic sheen and realistic coloration. The figure is mounted on a square, light gray pedestal. The jockey's cap matches the jacket, and the figure's arms are raised in a gesture as if holding reins. The sculpture appears roughly human-sized or slightly smaller.
