The Mountain Man by Frederic Remington: A dark-colored sculpture of a man on horseback wrestling a large animal. The man has a beard and is wearing a long-sleeved shirt. He is positioned on top of a horse that is rearing up on its hind legs, with the horse's front legs raised in the air. The man appears to be holding onto the horse's back with his left arm while his right arm is extended outward. The horse's head is lowered and appears to be biting or attacking a large animal, possibly a bison or bear, that is positioned below it. The sculpture is mounted on a rocky base. The background is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
