Frederic Remington 'The Bronco Buster' Bronze Sculpture

This is a bronze casting of Frederic Remington's most famous sculpture, 'The Bronco Buster,' which was originally created in 1895. This specific piece stands 13 inches high and is mounted on a tiered 11-inch black marble base with white veining. The sculpture depicts a rugged cowboy astride a rearing horse, capturing a moment of intense dynamic action. The figure is rendered with great detail, showing the cowboy's concentrated expression and the horse's flailing mane and tail. The bronze has a dark, monochromatic patina. Notable features include the signature of Frederic Remington located on the bronze base. The craftsmanship displays the hallmarks of a commercial late-20th-century recasting, often referred to as a 'copy' or 'after,' rather than a lifetime casting. The condition appears fair to good, with some visible surface dust and potential oxidation in the recessed areas. A wire rein is visible, which appears somewhat taut and potentially bent from its original intended arc. The piece serves as a classic representation of Western American Art, embodying the spirit of the frontier through detailed figurative modeling.
