Man of Heights

Ernst Barlach

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person from the waist up in a landscape setting. The person faces left with a slightly angled body. They have short hair styled upwards and slightly backward, a prominent chin and nose, and wear an intricately textured suit with a visible shirt collar and tie. Their hand rests over their leg, above a hat placed on a railing or similar surface. The background includes hills, trees, buildings, a small church, and mountains in the distance.
