Antoine-Maurice-Apollinaire, Comte D'Argout

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts the bust of an individual with a rugged texture and expressive face, slightly tilted back. Crafted from dark, bronze-like material, it has a rough surface. The dark color lends a heavy, solid appearance, with areas reflecting a slight sheen. The sculpture captures the head and shoulders, with detailed facial features and hair, while the clothing exhibits less definition. The material showcases a contrast between smooth and rough textures in relation to the natural forms represented.
