Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a bust of a person with a full face, characterized by prominent features including a bushy mustache and intense gaze. The hair appears voluminous and slightly disheveled. The material of the sculpture seems to be bronze, evident from its dark color and textured finish. The bust rests on a base, giving the impression that the subject is dressed in a large garment. The sculpture's surface is rough and detailed with various indentations and textures, enhancing the lifelike quality of the figure.
