Hotel Porter Figure

Alvin M. Gully

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing male figure in a formal attire with a dark-colored suit, green vest, white shirt, bow tie, and shiny shoes. The figure has a human-scale presence, standing in a dynamic pose, with one arm bent at the elbow and the other resting close to the body. The sculpture is made of a material that gives the skin a dark brown color and is placed on a simple, rectangular wooden base.
