Robert W.R. Taylor

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing upright facing forward with his head held high and arms resting by his sides. He has high cheekbones and a serious expression, wearing a feathered headdress, a necklace of large gold discs, armbands, a green and gold cloth around his waist, a belt, yellow leggings with gold designs, and stands on a pedestal next to a lion sculpture. In the background is a plain, light-colored wall.
