George Cooke

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a seated man in elaborate attire. He is dressed in detailed outfit featuring puffy sleeves, a prominent ruffled collar, and a lavish coat adorned with intricate decorations. The man's head reclines slightly to the side, resting on one hand. His feet are adorned with ornate shoes, resting on a platform. The sculpture, made of a monochromatic material, appears to be set within an architectural alcove resembling an archway. In front of the figure, a plaque with engraved text completes the presentation.
