Lumberjacks Sawing a Log

Frank Eiseman

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features two human figures sawing a large log. One figure is a man with dark skin and short black hair, wearing a deep blue top and red pants. The other figure has lighter skin and blonde hair, dressed in a dark sweater and green pants. They are both holding a large saw cutting through the log, textured to resemble wood. The sculpture is made from painted wood, giving it a rustic, earthy tone and texture. The figures are on rectangular bases mimicking rough terrain. The composition is horizontal, aligning the action with the viewer's perspective. The scene depicts collaborative work, showing interaction between the figures through their shared task.
