Height 16 in., Length 22 in., Depth 6 in. Wrought iron bull sculpture by American artist Robert D. Cumpston (1930–2018). Fabricated from welded iron components, the work presents a stylized bovine form characterized by simplified massing and linear construction. The oxidized surface enhances the texture and depth of the metal, contributing to the sculptures rustic and expressive character. The piece reflects late 20th-century American studio metal traditions, combining folk-art influence with modern fabrication techniques. The bull subject conveys strength and movement while maintaining a playful sculptural economy of form.
