$3,365.00
Frederic Sackrider Remington was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor and writer, who specialized in depictions of the old American West. He was the inventor of the ‘cowboy sculpture’. From his inaugural piece, The Broncho Buster (1895), he created an art form, which is still highly popular. Copyright law no longer covers Remington’s works, so reproductions can legally be cast. As a result of that, life-size reproductions of the famous Bronco Buster can now be seen in many places. The Cowboy in Philadelphia is the artist’s only large bronze.
This Jumbo size Cowboy statue by Remington is reproduced in the finest American bronze, finished in dark brown patina with hand-applied highlights that create natural variations in texture and color and then hand-rubbed to bring out the awesome detail and highlights, making a unique and lasting sculpture that is an original work of art. The statue is then mounted on a beautiful black or green marble base with an etched brass plate. 34″H x 40″L
