This terrific metal sculpture is a figural man who is depicted rolling a wheelbarrow with an actual stone rock that he is removing or transporting to another area of his garden. Old style nails of the kind used in the 40’s and 50’s time period were used in the construction of the figure’s head, shoulders, arms, hips, and legs. These nails were tapered and bent by the sculptor to his proportions for the garden man. Sheet metal was used for the wheelbarrow, and a washer was used for the wheel mechanism.
The metal figure is mounted on a block of hardwood which measures 2 3/4 x 4 3/8 inches long. The entire piece is 4 1/2 inches tall from the base to the top of the gardener’s head. The artisan’s name, Earl Solomon, Orchard Park, New York is stamped under the base. This is a unique miniature metal sculpture, one that would be an eye-appealing focal point of any display. |
