Art of Bronze is proud to offer “The Cowboy” (21.5” H.) bronze sculpture after Frederic Remington.

In March 1905, the president of the Fairmount Park Art Association (now the Association for Public Art) proposed the commissioning of a cowboy statue for the park. Up until this point, Remington had primarily worked on a smaller scale, but the idea of creating a larger piece intrigued him. After exploring Fairmount Park, he settled on a location: a rocky ledge protruding over East River Drive (now Kelly Drive). Records indicate that this site was personally chosen by Remington after he had a horseman pose for him in that exact spot. The cowboy depicted in the sculpture was modeled after Charlie Trego, a native of Chester County, Pennsylvania, and a friend from Remington’s days in Montana. Installed in 1908, the statue stands as one of the country’s earliest examples of site-specific art. Remarkably, it would be Remington’s sole large-scale bronze work, as he passed away the following year.

Frederic Sackrider Remington (1861- 1909) was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor and writer who specialize in depicting the American Old West.  Remington produced 22 bronze sculptures cast in editions during his lifetime.

Each bronze sculpture is cast in the ‘lost wax’ method and hand finished to capture excellent texture and detail throughout the entire sculpture.  Custom fit marble bases are attached to each sculpture.  A bronze plaque with etched lettering featuring the title of the sculpture and Remington’s name is available to attach to the front or backside of the marble base.
