End of the Trail, Finest US Lost Wax Bronze Sculpture Statue By James Earl Fraser ~ Baby

Description

The End of the Trail, James Earle Fraser’s best known sculpture, has come to symbolize the decimation of the Native American population due to the westward expansion. In 1893, the year of the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the 15-year old Fraser, then a student of the Art Institute, produced the first version of this bronze sculpture. [The Art Institute sculpture is later modeled and cast] A melancholic commentary on the vanishing Indian, the work portrays an exhausted Sioux drooping on his equally weary pony, both rider and horse, have literally – and figuratively – have reached the end of the trail.

This American Handmade Bronze Sculpture by James Earle Fraser is cast in the traditional Lost Wax Casting process. This insures a quality bronze sculpture that may be passed down from generation to generation. This statue is reproduced in the finest American bronze, cast in dark brown patina finishes 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. This renders that no two statues are exactly alike. Baby size: 8.25″H x 7″L x 3″W
