Bronco Buster Bronze Sculpture on Marble Base

This is a bronze sculpture depicting a cowboy riding a bucking horse, commonly referred to as a "bronco rider" or rodeo scene. The sculpture is rendered in a dark, possibly patinated bronze, showcasing fine details in the cowboy's attire, including his hat, shirt, chaps, and the reins in his hands. He is holding what appears to be a whip or quirt aloft in his right hand, enhancing the dynamic action. The horse is depicted in mid-buck, with its front legs off the ground and its head tucked under, conveying intense movement and energy. The musculature and mane of the horse are well-defined, indicating a high level of craftsmanship. The bronze portion of the sculpture rests on a textured, irregular base that simulates ground. This base is affixed to a polished, rectangular green marble plinth. A small gold-colored plaque is attached to the front of the marble base, bearing the inscription "Bronco Buster Frederic Remington". This indicates it is likely a reproduction or tribute to Remington’s famous work. The overall condition appears excellent, with no visible damage, chips, or significant wear to either the bronze or the marble. The patina on the bronze seems consistent and well-preserved. The quality of casting and detailing suggests this is a well-made decorative art piece, likely produced in the latter half of the 20th century or more recently, emulating the classic Western art of Frederic Remington.
