Description

This rare print was intended for the series The Representatives Represented but was never published.
A vertically oriented lithograph in black ink depicts a man with a light skin tone, an oversized head, and small body. He wears a dark cap over curly hair and dark robes. Facing us, looking upward and to our left with a furrowed brow, he raises his left hand to drop a round object into an urn atop a fluted pedestal. His right hand rests against his chest. Fine hatched lines create background shadows.
