Cigar Store Figure

Albert Ryder

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a figure of a man with a prominent mustache, wearing a uniform-like outfit. The man is posed standing upright with his arms crossed over his chest. His attire consists of a beige top with gold details, bright red pants, a matching red cap, and black shoes. The material of the sculpture is painted wood, giving it a smooth surface and vibrant colors that emphasize the details of his clothing and facial features. The figure stands on a dark rectangular base, providing a stable foundation that contrasts with the bright colors of the figure. The sculpture is presented in profile, offering a side view that accentuates the length of the red pants and elegant pose of the man.
