The Money Counter (Geldzähler)

Leonhard Kern

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a male figure sitting on a square pedestal. He is semi-nude, with defined musculature visible on his torso, arms, and legs. The man appears to be of mature age, with short, wavy hair and a contemplative expression on his face. The sculpture is crafted from a dark bronze material. The pedestal is rectangular with a slightly projecting top, and the man is seated with his right leg crossed under his left leg, which dangles off the edge. His hands rest on the top surface of the pedestal.
