George Cooke

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a seated figure of a man in elaborate clothing, including a ruffled collar, doublet, and breeches. The man is in a relaxed pose, with one arm resting on the armrest of the chair and head supported by his hand. The sculpture is monochromatic and likely made of stone. The detailed attire and facial features are emphasized by a textured surface. The sculpture is housed within a recessed, arched niche, highlighting its prominence. The figure's composition and positioning are typical of memorial sculptures.
