Description

Bronze Sculpture "Wild Cattle for Cowboy" Inspired by Charles M. Russell This exceptional bronze sculpture, inspired by Charles M. Russell’s iconic "Wild Cattle for Cowboy," captures the raw energy and strength of large bulls from the open range. Russell meticulously modeled these animals after real bulls that were thinned from the herd during the annual Fall Round-up at the National Cattle Range in Moiese, Montana. With the invaluable assistance of Range Superintendent C.J. Henry and range foreman Victor May, the bulls were carefully measured to ensure a lifelike and authentic representation in the artwork. Cast using the time-honored lost-wax method, this bronze sculpture boasts incredible detail, from the powerful stance of the bulls to their muscular form. The rich brown patina finish enhances the natural texture of the animals hides, preserving the beauty and ruggedness of the scene for generations to come. This careful attention to detail brings the spirit of the American West to life, showcasing Russells passion for cowboy culture and the majestic cattle that roam the range. Mounted on a polished black marble base, the sculpture combines rustic charm with elegance, making it a perfect addition to any Western art collection. Signed by the artist, Charles M. Russell, this masterpiece is a tribute to the enduring legacy of the Wild West and the lifeblood of its cattle herds.
