Wonderful Rare silver Patina Silver Patina Bronco Buster by Frederic Remington. Signed on Marble base Statue is about 18x12x22 The Bronco Buster (originally named The Broncho Buster) was Remington's first sculpture, created over an eight to ten month period in 1895 when his full range of artistic ability was at its height. Derived from his previously published drawings and paintings, the rearing horse and rider was a revolutionary concept in American sculpture. It was a technical tour de force. with The Bronco Buster, Remington almost single handedly changed the course of Western American sculpture and the piece was met wiht such immediate and unviersal success that an entire page was devoted to it in the October 19, 1895 edition of Harper's Weekly.

Very Good
