Artist, American, 1908 - 2005

This sculpture is a bust of a historical-looking figure, likely a male, dressed in old-fashioned attire. The sculpture is made of wood with visible wood grain and painted in natural earthy tones. The figure is wearing a dark brown garment with a diagonal sash across the chest and a blue drapery-like piece flowing from the back. The sculpture includes a dark wide-brimmed hat with a light-colored plume. The detailed rendering of facial features and clothing creases gives the sculpture a realistic appearance, adding depth to its three-dimensional presence.
