Wounded Bunkie
by Remington 1896

Is a great bronze piece depicting the loyalty of a fellow comrade. The Remington statue depicts a wounded trooper who is kept steady by the support of an extended arm from a fellow rider as their horses bolt at full gallop. Remington was praised by critics who hailed his “complete mastery of the nature and anatomy of the horse. The action is superb … the whole group in the most natural manner possible.”

This bronze statue is a handmade reproduced in 100% American bronze. Cast in the traditional “Lost Wax Casting” process. with magnificent patina finishes that are hand-applied highlights that create natural variations in texture and color and then hand-rubbed to bring out the awesome detail and highlights, making a unique and lasting sculpture that is an original work of art.

Description

Wounded Bunkie
by Remington 1896

This is a great piece depicting the loyalty of a fellow comrade.

The Wounded Bunkie Bronze Sculpture Copyrighted less than one year after completion, Remington had finished The Wounded Bunkie portraying a tragic incident of frontier life. Technically his second sculpture, this bronze represents a substantial advance in Remington’s sculpting. For example, the two horses are supported by only one leg each. This shows the viewer the extreme lifelike plunging motion of the full gallop. Another advancement shown in this piece is the great contrast of live and dead weight which, is perfectly stated in the joining of the two figures.

Remington had a steadfast enthusiasm for horse soldiers (Calvary), and infantrymen, people whose rugged lifestyle he considered to be a hard profession. As a painter and writer. Remington’s military subjects and images were primarily derived from frequent expeditions with cavalry regiments on station in the Southwest.

The original concept of this sculpture was probably preconceived earlier during Remington’s career, when he painted A Dash of Timber.

At the reception of the Wounded Bunkie its popularity did not even come close to reaching that of the Broncho Buster. However, on a more positive note, that same year Yale University presented him with an honorary fine arts degree.

In 1989 Frederic Remington’s sculpture of Coming through the Rye was auctioned by Christie’s New York for 4.4 million dollars.(1) In 2008 his Wounded Bunkie sold for 5.6 million dollars at Sotheby’s New York.(2) There are only 17 Coming through the Rye from the hand of Remington in existence. Numbers 1-8 and two unnumbered were created before he died. Numbers 9-15 were cast after his death. All but 2 of his Rye works are accounted for.(3) Given that a time factor from the 1989 sale to the present, is between 3 and 6 times the original sale of 4.4 million (relying on auction sales), it would not be unreasonable to argue that if Rye was sold today it could possibly fetch 13 million dollars or more.

Most any of our bronzes can be done in custom color patinas. Welded mounting nuts for larger sizes for permanent installation at your location can be added for $49.00.
