Imitator of Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing figure of a man in a long coat, one arm by his side and the other holding a top hat. The man is looking slightly upwards. The sculpture is made of a dark metallic material, likely bronze, with a rough, unfinished texture. The base is small and rounded, supporting the figure in an upright position.
