Frederic Remington  The Norther  Bronze
Offered in this lot is a reproduction in small scale of Frederic Remington's "The Norther". This bronze depicts the hard lifestyle of a cowboy in the harsh winter weather. Frederic Remington (1861-1909) depicted the life of the cowboy during the 1880s and 1890’s. “What success I have had,” Remington once told a newspaper reporter, “has been because I have a horseman’s knowledge of a horse. No one can draw equestrian subjects unless he is an equestrian himself.” Among his admirers were President Theodore Roosevelt, who once said that “Remington portrayed a most characteristic and yet vanishing type of American life. The soldier, the cowboy, the rancher, the Indian, the horses and the cattle of the plains will live in his pictures and bronzes, I verily believe for all time.” This bronze is 8" x 6 1/2".
