The Savage by Remington

“The Savage” depicts a Native American man with a defiant expression and bared teeth, representing a common stereotype of Native Americans in Remingtons”. The Savage is a classic bronze depiction of an Indian Brave. The intense expression of Frederic Remington’s 1908 portrait of the Native American warrior conjures up the tension and fresh wounds of recent battles, bloodshed and broken treaties. 

Remington created The Savage, copyrighted in 1908, as a pendant to his only other bust, The Sergeant of four years earlier. Both, miniaturized in scale, represent personality types rather than specific individuals. The fierce, defiant physiognomy depicted in The Savage represents one of Remington’s primary characterizations of Native Americans in his sculptures, including in The Cheyenne and The Scalp. Only one cast of The Savage, which Remington wrote of seeing in the window of Tiffany & Company in 1908, appears to have been produced during his lifetime; its location remains unknown. The Metropolitan’s example, cast number 10, was authorized by Remington’s widow, Eva, and recorded in the Roman Bronze Works ledger in May 1916.

Dimensions: 13″H x 4″L. All dimensions are approximate.

Description

Our handcrafted bronze sculptures are cast in the finest American bronze using the superior lost wax method, finished in a multi-color patina and mounted on a black marble base with an etched brass plate that bears the name of the statue and the artist. Marble base on most smaller statues is included but optional, please let us know if you don’t want your statue mounted on a marble base.

Jumbo, life-size, monumental and heroic sizes do not come with a marble base.

Made to order, please allow 4-8 weeks for production and delivery.

Color Choices – We usually cast and finish many of our sculptures with what is referred as multi-color patina. Our bronze sculpture selection may also be customized in a number of fire-applied patinas, such as classic French Brown, Verdigris, Italian Green as well as Gold and other custom finish options. Bronze is a durable material that can withstand the test of time, making it a popular choice for sculptures that can last for centuries. All bronze statuary will develop a natural patina when left in nature’s elements. The aged patina on bronzes is often desired, but if not, can be prevented by care and cleaning of the bronze statue with a mild soap and water and by applying beeswax or other polish to prevent an aged patina from forming. Color selection is more a matter of customer preference. Free shipping on all statues.
