The Drummer, Bronze sculpture at Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC, United States.
The Drummer depicts a hare standing on its hind legs, performing a drumming motion with its front paws on a large drum instrument.
Barry Flanagan created this bronze sculpture between 1989 and 1990, marking a period of innovation in public art installations across the United States.
The sculpture represents one of seven identical casts distributed worldwide, reflecting Flanagan's recurring theme of anthropomorphic hares in dynamic positions.
Visitors can find this sculpture in the outdoor garden section of the Hirshhorn Museum, which offers free admission throughout the year.
The bronze casting process preserved Flanagan's original hand marks from the clay model, creating textures visible on the surface of the sculpture.
