This Bucking Bronco Has Quite Fright Once He Sees A Deadly Rattle Snake Slithering Underneath Him. In A Panic He Starts To Rear Up And Stomp The Rattlesnake. The Rider Looks Like The Rider From “Wooly Chaps†And Grabs The Reign’S Quick As Lightning And Tries To Regain Control. He Brings His Other Hand Up To The Top Of His Head Keeping His Hat In Place. This Dynamic Achievement Of Action, Danger And Realism Suspended In Motion Is Quite Impressive And Really Ties This Sculpture Together Well. This Was One Of Remington’S’ Personal Favorites. This Sculpture Was Cast Using The “Lost Wax Method†And Has A Gorgeous Two Town Brown And Amber Patina. This Is 100% Bronze And 100% Handmade. This Sculpture Is Mounted On A Marble Base And Is Signed Frederic Remington. Frederic Remington (1861-1909) Was Local To New York. He Left When He Was 19 To Explore The Wild West And Ended Up Running A Kansas Horse Ranch For A While Before He Left To Come Back To The East Due To Its Failure. He Did However Learn Many Tools That He Would Later Use In His Artwork. He Is Quoted Saying “No One Can Draw Equestrian Subjects Unless He Is An Equestrian Himself.†He Learned Everything He Could About Horses, How They Move, React, And Look Right Down To The Skeletal And Muscular Structures. He Uses All Of These Elements In His Art. He Was Mainly A Painter Through His Life And Didn’T Start Doing Sculptures Until The Last 14 Years Of His Life. He Became Well Admired By Many People Including President Theodore Roosevelt Who Felt That He “Portrayed A Most Characteristic And Yet Vanishing Type Of American Life." Bronze Dimensions With Marble Base: Height 18 X Width 16 inches. Weight: 20 Lbs.
