Remington first sculpted "The Rattlesnake" in 1904 and it is considered one of his best sculptures, showing the fluid movement of the bucking horse and rider. This model presented a challenge to show the horse up on two legs twisting and recoiling from the dangerous snake at its feet. The cowboy is equally startled and is almost caught off balance, grabbing his hat while trying to stay on his horse. 22.5 inch H; 15.8 inch WNote: The 7/28/ 2014 Coeur d’Alene Art Auction one of the original FREDERIC REMINGTON (1861–1909)The Rattlesnake #53 bronze, 22 inches high Sold at Auction: $380,250.
