Pistol Sculpture Appraisal

Figurative Sculpture of a Cowboy with Pistol and Geometric Patterns

This is a painted and patterned figurative sculpture depicting a male figure, likely a cowboy or a frontiersman, holding a pistol. The primary color scheme consists of a mottled mustard yellow or ochre for the majority of the figure's body and base, contrasted with darker, possibly black or very dark brown, geometric patterns. The figure wears a hat, a collared shirt, and trousers. His left arm is crossed over his chest, while his right arm extends forward, holding a vintage-style pistol. The face of the figure is rendered with realistic details, including sideburns and a determined expression. \n\nA striking feature of the sculpture is the intricate patterning. The shirt displays a darker, possibly tartan or irregular geometric pattern, outlined in what appears to be white or a very pale yellow, creating distinct zones on the clothing. The rest of the yellow-colored attire (trousers and parts of the shirt) and the rectangular base are adorned with scattered, dark cubic or box-like motifs. These cubes appear to be rendered with perspective, showcasing multiple sides and containing internal geometric designs akin to circuit boards or complex patterns. There are also smaller, indistinct dark speckles across the yellow surfaces. The base is also mustard yellow with the same cubic patterns, providing a stable platform for the figure. The overall construction appears solid and well-crafted, likely made from a robust material like wood, resin, or ceramic. There are no obvious signs of significant damage, repairs, or extreme wear visible in the image; the speckled texture seems intentional rather than a sign of degradation. The style suggests a contemporary artistic approach, blending figuration with abstract or symbolic patterning, possibly dating from the late 20th or early 21st century.
