The Piece Itself: 

Elevate your space with a timeless masterpiece that encapsulates the spirit of the American West – a magnificent brass and bronze sculpture meticulously crafted using the revered lost wax method. Immerse yourself in a journey through history as you delve into the intricate details of this masterpiece, a testament to craftsmanship and artistry that is rapidly fading from our modern world.

The lost wax method, an ancient technique dating back to the earliest civilizations, has been revived in this exquisite sculpture. Every contour, every nuance, and every expression are captured with unparalleled precision, thanks to this labor-intensive process. This method involves creating an original sculpture in wax, which is then encased in a mold and cast in bronze, allowing for remarkable intricacy and lifelike detail.

Acquired in the early 1970s from a Western and Americana Art Gallery, this sculpture resonates with a historical aura, a connection to an era where the wild west was still vividly alive. A cowboy, the epitome of rugged determination, stands atop a majestic horse, perpetuating the legacy of those who shaped the land. With a confident wave of a lasso, the cowboy's presence is an ode to the courage and grit of a bygone era.

Every facet of this sculpture speaks volumes of its creation. The cowboy's attire is adorned with precision, each fold and crease a testament to the artisan's skill. Topped with a generously sized sombrero, the cowboy is not just a figure but a symbol of resilience and preparedness against the sun-soaked landscapes of the West.

The horse, a paragon of anatomical accuracy and a testament to the sculptor's expertise, captures the essence of equine strength and grace. Its every muscle and sinew are expertly rendered, capturing the very essence of equine majesty. The saddle, a pinnacle of artistic expression, is intricately designed, a miniature work of art in its own right.

A symphony of detail cascades down to the smallest elements, as even the individual hairs on the horse are painstakingly rendered, each one a testament to the artisan's dedication. Standing proudly on a solid white marble base, the sculpture is a juxtaposition of power and elegance, embodying the dynamic relationship between man and beast.

Just as the iconic cowboy is vanishing from the American landscape, so too is the craft of creating these handcrafted masterpieces using the lost wax method. The era of mass production often overshadows the significance of handmade artistry, making this sculpture not just a possession, but a celebration of a dying tradition.

Own more than just a sculpture – own a piece of history, a tangible link to an era of bravery and exploration. Let this captivating masterpiece breathe life into your space, a constant reminder of the fading echoes of the past. Acquire this emblem of American heritage and make it a cherished part of your own narrative, a tale that spans centuries and defies the limitations of time.

Quick Personal Note: 

As the years have woven their threads into the tapestry of my life, here I stand, facing a moment of both fondness and reluctance. This sculpture, a steadfast companion through the chapters of my existence, carries a symphony of memories within its bronze and marble form. Each curve, each stroke, a testament to a time when art was a labor of love, a dance between hands and heart. The cowboy, frozen in eternal motion, and the horse, a portrait of grace and power, have been more than mere metal and stone to me; they've been whispers of the past, echoes of the present, and a bridge to the future. As I place it for sale, it's not a goodbye, but an invitation for this masterpiece to grace another journey, to tell its story anew. (: I’m an old man now… but long after I am gone - I know that a piece of my heart and soul will continue to live on through this beloved work of art.
