Description:

This sculpture depicts four cowboys on horseback in a state of great jubilation. The expressions of each cowboy show them shouting and hollering with their revolvers unholstered and in hand. The extreme detail of the piece allows for one to imagine them excitedly urging their horses to carry them faster to the nearest town. It is easy to envision them firing their revolvers in the air to announce their arrival, before trading their hard earned money for some rye whiskey. Originally, Remington designed this sculpture with only five of the horses combined sixteen feet on the ground but eventually settled for six feet on the ground because doing so "made it much better with the foot on the ground." The brilliance of the artist is on display with the far left horse being completely suspended in the air through its attachment to the horse beside it. The piece is covered in fantastic details, from the bronze ribbon rider's crops, to the bronze wire tack on the horses, to the freely spinning rowels on the spurs of the cowboys, it is truly incredible. Frederic Remington's signature is on top of the base on the front right corner, and the side of the right rear corner of the base is very discreetly stamped "2-10". The bronze stands on a marble base with plaque on the front marked "COMING THRU THE RYE/BY FREDRIC REMINGTON". The bronze measures 28 inches x 22 inches x 30 inches. Includes a wheeled metal riser.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, with limited storage and handling marks. The bronze displays an attractive patina.
