The Man of Affairs (L'homme d'affaires)

Imitator of Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing figure of a man wearing a top hat and suit. It is made of bronze with a dark, somewhat weathered color and a metallic sheen. The sculpture stands upright and has a textured surface, with details roughly molded to suggest the figure's facial features and clothing folds. It appears small, suggesting it may be designed as a tabletop or shelf piece.
