Robert Pohle

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a carved image of a person standing beside a cylindrical structure, possibly a barrel, with an arm raised. The person is dressed in a detailed outfit, with a skirt or tunic and boots, positioned centrally within a circular frame decorated with leaves and floral motifs. Bundles of wheat are on either side of the figure. The sculpture is made from dark brown material, likely wood, and presented within an octagonal frame. The carving is detailed with a rustic quality.
