The Broncho Buster

Frederic Remington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bronze sculpture depicts a man and a horse. The man wears a hat, a collared shirt, and pants. He sits on top of the horse with his right leg bent at the knee and positioned in front of the horse's stomach and his left leg behind the horse. His right arm extends outward to the right, and his left arm extends outward but slightly downward, holding a whip. The horse stands on its hind legs, with its front legs in the air and its head turned to the right. The sculpture has a dark brown patina and stands on an oval base.
