Coming Through the Rye

Frederic Remington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sculpture titled "Coming Through the Rye" by Frederic Remington. The sculpture depicts three cowboys on horseback, each holding guns. The horses are in motion, with their legs extended and heads looking forward. The cowboy on the left wears a cowboy hat and holds a pistol in his right hand and two lassos in his left. The two other cowboys wear bandanas over their faces, one holds a rifle above his head in his right hand and a pistol in his left; the other cowboy holds a rifle above his head in both hands. The sculpture is made of dark-colored metal, possibly bronze, and sits on a marble base. The base is oval-shaped and has a textured surface.
