BR36.22: Man with a Kid and Pannier
SculptureThe fair-skinned man is barefoot standing on leafy greens and has a large white open basket strapped to his back. He’s bent slightly at the knees as he learns forward slightly. There’s a slight scowl on his face and his brow is furrowed, rosy cheeks, as he looks forward. He wears a long sleeve white shirt, large black hat, and brown knee-length pants with suspenders. The kid goat’s legs are tied front together and back together. The goat is white with a few brown patches on its cheek, side, and front knees.
