The composition depicts a mounted cavalryman in mid-action, the horse rearing with tension and energy while the rider steadies himself in the saddle. The sculptural modeling emphasizes muscular movement, expressive detail, and the narrative realism associated with Remington’s iconic Western subjects.

Cast using the traditional lost-wax process, the sculpture features a rich dark patina that highlights the surface detail and depth of the casting. The figure is mounted on a shaped base and set upon a polished green marble plinth, providing both visual contrast and a sense of permanence. A titled plaque to the base references the work, reinforcing its connection to the original Remington design while presenting as a handsome decorative and collectible Western bronze.

The piece is in nice condition consistent with age and normal use, showing minor surface wear and light handling marks typical for bronze sculpture, along with expected natural variation to the marble base. It presents very well overall and makes a strong statement piece for a desk, mantel, or Western-themed interior. 20h x 22w x 8d See less
