Bust of Gov. John Winthrop

Joseph Goldberg

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a male figure in a bust. The figure has a beard, medium-length swept back hair, and wears a period garment with a ruffled collar and a buttoned shirt. The sculpture is monochromatic, made of a material like bronze, giving it a uniform bronze color. It is mounted on a square pedestal. The head is slightly tilted, and the facial expression is composed, with detailed hair and attire, highlighting the craftsmanship.
