The Representative (Le représentant noue sa cravate)

Imitator of Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing male figure in a long coat and pants, with his hands raised to his neck. The material used is dark bronze or a similar metal, giving it a reflective surface with a rough texture. The figure is detailed with distinct facial features and clothing folds, and is relatively small in scale. The figure is positioned on a circular base.
