Description

Lifelike limited edition bronze sculpture of Buffalo Bill

Magnificent limited edition solid bronze sculpture of Old West legend William F. ‘Buffalo Bill’ Cody by sculptor Mark Hopkins, numbered 23/50, 12″ x 19.75″ x 11″, 36 pounds, displaying the head and hands of the fabled American frontiersman and impresario; Cody’s handsome likeness features his iconic mustache and goatee, and his long hair is topped by a cowboy hat with a turned-up brim; his hands float below, the left holding the reins of his horse, the right grasping the grip of a ​​Remington revolver. The reverse of the rein is engraved with the artist's signature and the edition number. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the sculptor.

Mark Hopkins is considered one of the premier sculptors in the United States today. From tabletop sculptures to monuments, his work is displayed in homes, offices, and public settings around the world. Hopkins’ work reveals his fascination with nearly every conceivable aspect of life: from history, children, sports, music, and religion, to wildlife of the land, sea, and air. His style is so flowing and alive that it has been called ‘bronze in motion,’ an apt description exemplified by this terrifically rugged portrayal of the great Buffalo Bill.
