The Bronco Buster Bronze Sculpture after Frederic Remington

This item is a cast metal sculpture, commonly referred to as 'The Bronco Buster,' modeled after the iconic 1895 original by Frederic Remington. The piece depicts a determined cowboy atop a bucking bronco, capturing a dynamic sense of motion and Western struggle. It is likely a 20th-century reproduction made of bronze-patinated white metal or cast bronze, featuring a multi-toned brown and golden patina that highlights the muscular tension of the horse and the texture of the rider's chaps. The sculpture is mounted on a rough, rocky-textured integral base, which is then secured to a secondary wooden plinth. Notable physical details include the braided mane of the horse and the rider's period-accurate attire. Regarding condition, there is visible wear to the finish, most notably a significant white mark or paint chip on the rider's hat and smaller specks of loss on the arm and shoulder, suggesting the base metal may be lighter than the surface patina. Dust accumulation is present in the crevices of the casting. While no maker's mark is visible in this view, these pieces typically feature a signature in the casting on the base. The craftsmanship represents a mid-tier decorative casting rather than a fine art original, suitable for Western-themed decor.
