This life like sculpture is truly a work of art. From a distance the figure looks like a live person. The sculpture is of an old man holding a basket of potatoes on one arm and a single potato is his outstretched fingers. It is reminiscent of what a street vendor of the early 20th century might have looked like in New York City.
