Triste contenance de la sculpture ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a human figure in a seated position with its head tilted back, mouth open, arms raised, and fists clenched. It is created in black and white, resembling a stone-like material. The sculpture is placed on a pedestal in a room with people wearing late 19th-century attire. The viewers are looking in different directions, with some observing the sculpture and others focusing elsewhere. The background features framed artwork on the walls, suggesting an art gallery or exhibition setting.
