About the Item
Cast in bronze and hand-finished in polychrome patina, this elegant figure stands at 18.5-inches high (approximately 47 cm) with a width of 15 inches and depth of 6 inches. Signed and numbered on the base with the edition mark 12/25 and dated 1991, it exemplifies the artist’s dynamic blend of figurative form, color, and movement.
The title “Baile” (Spanish for “dance”) resonates in the fluid lines and poised gesture of the subject. Vigil’s background in the American Southwest—rooted in his Pueblo and Hispanic heritage—infuses the piece with a nuanced cultural resonance and a modern abstract expressionist sensibility. 
This sculpture offers both presence and refinement: a sound investment for collectors of post-war American sculpture, Latino/Chicano art, and color-bronze edition works.
Condition: Excellent—bronze is solid with rich, consistent polychrome finish, no visible casting flaws or damage, and the base remains sound and stable.

19th Century American Folk Art Rocking Horse
Located in Lancaster, PA
A charming and expressive 19th-century carved wooden rocking horse, retaining an appealing early painted surface with beautifully worn patina. The elongated, stylized form is hand-carved with exaggerated features—arched neck, sculpted ears, and a deeply carved mane—giving the piece a wonderfully naïve and folky presence. Original paint remains visible throughout in muted tones of black, green, red, and cream, softened by generations of use and natural age.
The horse sits on its original bentwood rockers, joined by hand-forged nails and wooden pegs, with traces of old surface wear that speak to its long life and authenticity. The saddle form and tail are carved integral to the body, and the expressive head retains its original painted bridle details and wide-eyed character.
This is a particularly evocative example of early children’s folk art...
