Whimsical Bronze Pitcher Sculpture

This is a dynamic cast bronze sculpture of a young baseball pitcher in mid-delivery. The piece is executed in a whimsical, stylized manner, featuring elongated proportions and exaggerated facial expressions that lend it a sense of character and narrative charm. Physically, the sculpture is finished with a deep brown and golden patina, highlighting the textured surfaces created by the artist's original clay or wax tool marks. The pitcher is shown balanced on one leg on an integral, rocky circular base, wearing a cap and period-style uniform. This style reflects a mid-to-late 20th-century aesthetic, likely produced using the lost-wax casting method given the intricate detail in the face and fingers. The condition appears sound, showing a natural age-related patina with minor handling wear on the raised surfaces. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided view, though they may be located on the rear or underside of the base. The quality is evidenced by the successful balance of the figure and the expressive, lifelike quality of the pose, capturing a fleeting athletic moment with artistic flair.
