"Sailor Jack" Whirligig

Frances Cohen

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooden toy soldier standing upright against a plain background. The toy has jointed arms with one arm holding a straight stick and the other arm raised, grasping a curved object. The soldier wears a red jacket with gold accents and black pants, and has a simplistic face with a painted-on beard, a black hat with a brown and gold pattern. The overall appearance is slightly worn.
