Description
Cheyenne
By Frederic Remington · 1901
Motion. Mastery. Frontier Power.
Cheyenne captures a dramatic moment of intensity as a mounted warrior charges forward at full gallop. Regarded by Remington as one of his most technically challenging sculptures, this composition achieves what few bronzes of its time accomplished — a horse in natural flight, with all four legs suspended off the ground.
The rider grips his spear while the sweeping buffalo robe extends outward, creating balance and dynamic movement. The sculpture reflects Remington at the height of his artistic mastery, combining anatomical precision with emotional force and Western authenticity.
Often regarded as one of Remington’s most celebrated Native American compositions, Cheyenne remains an iconic representation of motion and strength in Western bronze sculpture.
