The Wounded Bunkie 1896 - 1938

"The Wounded Bunkie" is a bronze sculpture by Frederic Remington, depicting a cowboy on horseback. The sculpture captures the energy and drama of the American West, a theme that Remington was known for. The cowboy is shown riding at full speed, his hat blown back by the wind, and his horse's hooves flying. This dynamic scene is further heightened by the presence of a fallen bison skull, referencing the dangers and hardships of frontier life. The sculpture is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
