Hand Puppet Boxer

David Ramage

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a puppet with a full-body view, positioned upright with its arm stubs slightly extended outward. It has a large head with painted facial features including eyes, a nose, and a mouth. The puppet's hair is represented by brown coloring around the top of the head. It is clothed in a green garment that drapes loosely like a robe, covering the body except for the hands. There are no visible accessories or objects. The background is plain with a light beige color.
