Michael German 'In Command' Figurine

This is a detailed a figurine by artist Michael German, titled 'In Command,' and dated 1986. The figurine depicts a male figure, likely a military officer or a historical western figure, standing at attention or otherwise posed in a commanding stance. The figure is dressed in what appears to be a 19th-century military uniform, consisting of a blue-grey (possibly faded dark blue) jacket with intricate button detailing, epaulets, and a red neckerchief tied loosely around the neck. His pants are a lighter grey with visible yellow or tan inner leg panels, suggesting riding breeches. He wears tall, black riding boots and light-colored gloves. A wide-brimmed, light grey hat, possibly a cavalry hat, adorns his head, featuring what appears to be an insignia on the front. The figure has a prominent mustache and a serious expression. The figurine stands on a sculpted base designed to resemble natural terrain, possibly a rocky outcrop, rendered in shades of green and brown, indicating earthy tones. The overall color palette is muted, consisting primarily of blues, greys, browns, and reds, giving it a somewhat stoic and historically authentic appearance. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with fine attention to detail evident in the uniform's texture, the facial features, and the slight musculature of the figure. No significant condition issues like chips, cracks, or repairs are immediately visible from the provided images, though a full inspection would require examining all angles. The base shows some minor wear consistent with its age. The style suggests a realistic historical portrayal, typical of fine art figurines or limited-edition sculptures from the latter half of the 20th century. The mention of 'Michael German' as the artist and '1986' as the date provides clear manufacturing details and estimated age.
