The sculpture is mounted on a beautifully striated red-and-white marble pedestal, set atop a darker marble plinth that provides striking visual contrast and stability.A collector’s piece of historical and artistic importance, this work is a tribute to the frontier mythos Remington helped define and immortalize.
