National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing figure of a man in formal attire with a detailed coat, cravat, and cape. The figure stands atop a rectangular base with decorative elements, including a star emblem. The sculpture appears to be made of dark metal, possibly cast iron, with a textured finish. The figure stands upright with one hand on the chest, and the base is supported by two square feet and features an extended arm or hook-like element at the back.
