Umbrella Stand

Jacob Lipkin

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a man standing confidently at the center. He is dressed in a seafaring outfit with a wide-brimmed hat and holds two circular rings or ropes. The sculpture is made of a dark material, possibly metal, with a monochrome gray finish highlighting detailed features. The figure stands on a structure resembling nautical elements, including parts of anchors and ropes. The piece is elevated on a base with embossed patterns, giving it a textured appearance.
