Jockey Hitching Post

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a male figure dressed as a jockey. The subject is standing with one arm bent and raised, and the other hand placed on his hip. The sculpture features the jockey wearing a bright green jacket and cap, along with white pants adorned with brown riding boots. The material of the sculpture has a painted finish, giving it a lifelike appearance, and the colors are vibrant, with contrast between the green, white, and brown elements of the attire. The figure stands atop a square pedestal. The expression and posture suggest readiness or anticipation.
