The Dandy (Le dandy)

Imitator of Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a male figure dressed in 19th-century attire, including a jacket, waistcoat, and trousers. He is holding a top hat in his right hand, while his left hand is tucked into his trouser pocket. The sculpture is dark in color, likely bronze. The figure stands on a slightly irregular base, and the surface of the sculpture is textured, capturing intricate details of the attire and the features of the face and hair. The statue is of a modest size and has a realistic yet slightly abstract portrayal, with a focus on the overall silhouette and form of the attire and body posture.
