Mountain Man on Marble Base

At 40" tall this is a very dramatic sculpture a huge, double size version lost wax, cast bronze, recreation of the Famous original sculpture " Mountain Man" after the original by Frederik Remington one of the most prolific American artsts of all time. The Mountain Man depicts a dramatic moment in the daily life of a frontier trapper, in which he and his mount work together to descend a precarious slope with a rich variety of textures, from the fringed buckskin garment to the animal’s hairy coat to the rocklike base. The Metropolitan Museum purchased the original from Remington in 1907
