About Cyrus Edwin Dallin

Cyrus Edwin Dallin (1861–1944) was an American sculptor and painter born in Springville, Utah, whose work is closely associated with depictions of Native American life and the American West. He trained at the Académie Julian in Paris under Henri-Michel-Antoine Chapu from 1888 to 1890 and spent most of his career in Boston, Massachusetts. Dallin produced more than 260 works, including several major public monuments: the Equestrian Statue of Paul Revere in Boston, the Angel Moroni statue atop the Salt Lake Temple, and Appeal to the Great Spirit (1908), installed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. His Native American-themed sculptures, especially his equestrian bronzes, remain among the most recognized works in American sculptural tradition. Dallin was also an accomplished painter and competed as an Olympic archer.

Common works and media

Dallin's most frequently seen works at auction and in collections include bronze sculptures of Native American figures on horseback, standing Native American portraits, equestrian monument maquettes, and small-scale reduced editions of his major public commissions. Appeal to the Great Spirit, The Scout, and related Native American subjects are among the most widely circulating models. He also produced landscape paintings, portrait busts, and religious sculptural works including the Angel Moroni for the Salt Lake Temple. Collectors may encounter full-size bronzes, table-top reductions, and plaster or terracotta studies.

Market and appraisal context

Dallin's bronze sculptures of Native American and equestrian subjects are the works most commonly encountered at auction and are widely collected within American and Western art categories. Key factors in appraisal include the specific model or title, scale (life-size vs. reduced edition), foundry marks, patina condition, and documented provenance. Some popular Dallin models were cast in multiple editions and sizes, and posthumous or later casts exist, so verifying edition status and foundry origin is important. His paintings appear far less frequently at auction than his bronzes.
