Industrial Scrap Metal Folk Art Sculpture of a Fisherman - An industrial folk art sculpture depicting a seated fisherman, constructed from various welded scrap metal components. The figure's body and limbs are formed from square-section metal bars, while a rounded metal slug serves as the head. The fisherman holds a rod composed of a thin metal rod fitted with washers and a nut to represent the guides and reel. The entire work is finished in a thick, glossy black enamel or paint and is mounted to an integral, square-shaped textured metal base. The construction features visible weld points consistent with the assembly of found metal objects. No signatures, maker’s marks, or labels are present on the sculpture. 4.5 x 3.5 x 4 inches.
