Cigar Store Figure

Joseph Goldberg

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman standing with one hand resting on her chest and the other holding an object. She is dressed in a colorful outfit, including a red bodice with gold detailing, a white apron, and brown stockings. The figure is adorned with a headpiece that includes a twisted cloth. The sculpture is made of a material that allows for detailed painting, possibly wood or plaster with painted surfaces. The woman stands on a square pedestal, and the sculpture appears to be approximately life-sized.
