Fontaine, rue Garancière

Eugène Atget

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a grotesque face with exaggerated features such as bulging eyes, a furrowed brow, and a large mouth. It is adorned with a garland crown made of acorns and leaves. The dark monochrome color suggests it is made from a metal material like bronze or iron, giving it a weathered appearance. The sculpture is bas-relief and placed against a textured surface.
