Magot de la Chine

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a seated figure with a large, rounded belly, smiling broadly with eyes closed. The figure is seated cross-legged with both arms resting on the knees, one hand holding an object. The sculpture is monochromatic in shades of gray with textured drapery. It appears substantial and solid, commanding attention.
