Artist, American, 1915 - 1994

The sculpture depicts a standing figure of a man dressed in formal attire. The clothing includes a long, draped robe and a jacket with visible buttons, as well as a vest beneath the jacket. One of the man's arms is bent across his body, while the other hangs at his side, holding a rolled-up document or scroll. The man's hair appears styled or tied back. The sculpture is monochromatic, likely carved from a gray-toned stone or cast in a similar muted material. The figure is portrayed in a classical style, with attention to the flowing detail of the garments and the formal demeanor of the subject.
