Captured in a full gallop, Remington’s statue “Trooper of the Plains” storms briskly through the wild country. The horse, caught in mid-flight over sagebrush, is an accomplishment of artistic mastery, as all four legs are rendered off the ground. With a yank of the reins and a pistol pointed across his torso, Remington depicted this soldier of the wilderness at full speed. The sculpture was finished in 1909, the year Remington died.
This Remington piece is made of a solid bronze casting on a heavy marble base with name plate.
