Majestic bronze sculpture of a mustachioed man with pistol in hand, pressed against his chest, dashing on the back of his horse. Weight is 23.2lbs. Frederic Remington engraved. This piece simply speaks for itself.. Circa 19th century. Impeccable condition. This is part of my personal collection. It was purchased from a grand estate in New England. This is truly heirloom / museum quality.

Frederic Remington (1861-1909) cast 22 different subjects. The first foundry with which he worked was the Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company in New York. Four different sculptures were cast in bronze, starting in 1895, using the sand-casting method. They were The Broncho Buster, The Wounded Bunkie, The Wicked Pony, and The Scalp. In 1900 Remington began working exclusively with the Roman Bronze Works, New York. They produced his bronzes using the lost-wax bronze casting process until his death in 1909. Remington's widow, Eva, authorized the foundry to continue casting Remington's bronzes, until her death in 1918. By direction of Eva Remington's will, the foundry destroyed the molds shortly after her death.
