Frederic Remington (American, 1861 to 1909). "Bronco Buster" brass, late 20th century. Signed on integral base. A stunning brass statue of a rearing bronco and rider. The action-packed piece shows the horse arch its back as the cowboy atop it leans forward, holding a lasso that's frozen in mid-air. Frederic Remington was an American artist and writer who specialized in subjects of the Old American West. Originally from New York, Remington took his first trip to the West in 1882 at the age of 19. That trip to Montana led to the publication of his first illustrations in Harper's Bazaar. Remington's illustrations and articles closely followed the wars against Native Americans in the West, and his works were published in many more magazines including Outing Magazine, The Century Magazine as well as a book published by Theodore Roosevelt entitled Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail. Remington began creating sculptures in 1895, from which he created 22 different subjects in clay, then cast in bronze. Size: 7" W x 7.5" H (17.8 cm x 19 cm); 9.3" H (23.6 cm) on included custom stand.

One of his most famous bronzes, this Bronze Buster is made of brass and signed on the integral base. It was likely cast after the death of the artist - probably during the 3rd quarter of the last century.
