Robert Pohle

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a human figure wearing traditional attire which includes a turban and a long robe. The clothing is painted in rich colors, with a red robe, a blue turban, and hints of gold and beige. The figure is standing on a rectangular base with the inscription "A. Ogden & Co" clearly visible. The sculpture appears to be made of wood, as indicated by the texture and color. The figure stands upright on the base, suggesting it is meant to be eye-catching or decorative. The overall look is detailed and colorful, with the figure's posture being formal and dignified.
