FREDERIC REMINGTON. The Cheyenne

The Cheyenne. Artist: Frederic Remington (American, Canton, New York 1861-1909 Ridgefield, Connecticut). Dimensions: 20 1/4 x 25 x 8 in. (51.4 x 63.5 x 20.3 cm). Date: 1901, cast by March 1907. In 1901 Remington modeled this Cheyenne Indian racing on horseback. The muscular rider, wearing only a loincloth and moccasins, leans forward, clutching a spear and a quirt. His mount is depicted at full gallop, or "burning the air," as Remington described it: ears back, tail flowing, and all four hooves off the ground. The buffalo robe that serves as a saddle trails off the airborne horse to its right and functions as the means of linking figures to the base.
