The Bronco Buster Bronze Sculpture by Frederic Remington

This is a cast bronze sculpture depicting a cowboy astride a rearing horse, famously titled 'The Bronco Buster'. Originally modeled in 1895, this particular piece features a deep brown patina with subtle highlights, mounted on a polished black marble or stone base. The sculpture captures a dynamic moment of tension between rider and steed; the cowboy is shown wearing leather chaps, a button-up shirt, and a neckerchief, holding a switch in his right hand while pulling back on the reins with his left. The horse is depicted with a flowing mane and tail, showing realistic anatomical musculature. A visible signature for 'Frederic Remington' is cast into the naturalistic bronze base plate. The craftsmanship exhibits typical turn-of-the-century Western realism, though the specific age requires closer inspection to differentiate between a contemporary estate casting and a vintage authorized piece. The condition appears stable, with some minor surface dust and potential light oxidation in recessed areas. The presence of wire reins indicates traditional assembly. There is a handwritten price tag or inventory label reading '795-' visible on the marble base. The piece serves as a classic icon of American Western art.
