Cast Iron Hitching Post

David Ramage

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a statue of a figure standing on a green rectangular base. The figure is adorned in a checkered vest, yellow shirt, red bow tie, purple pants, and a brown hat. The figure has one hand in its pocket and the other arm extended with a clenched fist. The clothing style is reminiscent of early 20th-century fashion. The color scheme includes bold and distinct colors, with a contrast between the dark skin tone of the figure and the bright, patterned clothing.
