Context:
Remington modeled and copyrighted 'The Mountain Man' in 1903. For his subject he chose a dramatic episode in the life of a French Canadian trapper: his and his mount's descent on an almost vertical slope. Man and horse work together to make the trip down a treacherously rocky decline. The horse has been given full rein to choose its pace and path; the rider leans sharply back and balances himself by holding onto the tail strap with his right hand. The Museum's bronze was cast in 1907 in the lost-wax technique and was purchased, along with three other statuettes, directly from the artist. Relatively few casts of 'The Mountain Man' were produced during Remington's lifetime; the number is thought to be about fifteen.
