This charming hand-painted wood sculpture features a sharply dressed gentleman in bold, saturated colors—lavender hat, green vest, long black coat, purple trousers, and a pink walking cane—capturing the joyful, storybook spirit that defines Accorsi’s work.

Rendered in carved wood with layered, cut-out forms, the figure stands confidently on a bright blue base, which is signed and dated “Accorsi 88.” The sculpture showcases Accorsi’s signature use of geometric forms, exaggerated proportions, and bold color blocking. A delightful blend of folk art, pop sensibility, and theater-like character design, this piece adds personality and artistic warmth to any space.

Perfect for collectors of American folk art, whimsical sculpture, or postmodern-era decorative art.
