The Bronco Buster
Frederic Remington’s bronze sculpture, The Bronco Buster, took nearly a year to complete. Upon completion in 1895, the work became one of the most popular small American bronze sculptures of the 1800s. Three hundred casts of The Bronco Buster exist, all with varying details. The White House casting is number 23 made by the Roman Bronze Works around 1903, (one of 93 lost-wax casts made by Roman Bronze Works of this piece). The Carter Library and Museum displays a reproduction.
