Description
Title: "Mountain Man",
sculpture in bronze, , , incised signature and copyright symbol, incised 33/100, restrike and possibly limited edition, cast in true original size, , ,
Size info: 28 by 18 by 10 in. (70 x 45 x 25 cm.), , ,
Framing: ,
,
Comments: Remington described The Mountain Man as one of the "old Iriquois [sic] trappers who followed the Fur Companies in the Rocky Mountains in the [18]30s & 40'ties," probably referring to French Canadian trappers. The sculptor chose a dramatic episode in the daily life of a trapper, his and his mount's descent on an almost vertical slope. Man and horse work together to make the trip down a treacherously rocky decline: the horse has been given full rein to choose its pace and path; the rider leans sharply back and balances himself by holding on to the tail strap with his right hand. . (from Metropolitan Museum notes on the subject).,
