You may have noticed that Mr. Hunter has an affinity for busts and other sculptures of heads. And when he encountered this fellow at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Mr. Hunter felt an even stronger kinship. The pointed chins, the long noses... they could be cousins!
Mr. Hunter's new friend in the top hat is called Le Boulevardier, and he was created by the Polish-born American sculptor Elie Nadelman.
