Item Description
This heroic scale 9’ high copy of Frederic Remington’s famed 1906 sculpture “The Rattlesnake” depicts a cowboy riding a bucking horse. His left hand tightly grips the reigns, while his right-hand holds his trusty hat to his head. This sculpture is truly a sight to see. This piece is Remington’s third most popular sculpture ever, probably due to the fact it adds the elements of the fashionable Bronco with those of a close encounter with death. One of Remington’s acquaintances Charles Frances Roe, once a Calvary officer, related to him that “The best thing I’ve ever seen (referring to the sculpture). I had a horse bitten by a rattle snake near the Custer battle field (Little Big Horn) while I was on his back…” Remington went on to tell his founder Riccardo Bertelli; how he could’ve spent days just positioning the snake on the base of the sculpture, and the only thing limiting him was his time and patience. He cast the piece at Roman Bronze Works the very next morning after finishing it.
