The Visitor (Le visiteur)

Imitator of Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a man standing with one hand raised to his top hat. He is dressed in a long coat that is buttoned up the front. The figure is crafted in a dark-colored material, possibly bronze, giving it a polished appearance. The man is depicted in a realistic style with a textured surface. The sculpture's size suggests it is suitable for display on a flat surface. The man's facial features and attire suggest a nod to formal attire typical of a past era.
