Desirable Kevin McCarthy Signed "Stolen Pony" Limited Edition Bronze Sculpture Number "10/15" A spectacular bronze of an American western pioneer "mountain man" riding his steed in full gallop with a stolen mount in tow. The man is detailed in a fashion similar to Jeremiah Johnson, with scraggly beard and hair mixed with the blowing furs of his cap, dressed from head to foot in leather shirt and trousers with wisps blowing in the wind, along with a detailed belt, bowie knife, and powder horn. In his right hand he holds a lever action rifle in a leather wrap. His mount is saddled in what appears to be furs, with a wrapped up fur sitting behind him. The stolen pony features a native style wrapped leather shield, indicating the affiliation of its former rider. In the Old West frontier horses were a highly prized commodity by natives and pioneers alike, making scenes like this more likely than one might imagine. The bronze is mounted to a edged and oiled hardwood plinth contoured to the base. The base also includes a brass name plate marked "STOLEN PONY/KEVIN McCARTHY," along with "Kevin McCarthy 10/15" signed on the base itself. Kevin McCarthy is an American artist born in 1955, known for his sculpting of scenes from the American Old West and represented by the Toh-Atin Gallery. With the following approximate dimensions: 23 inches high, 15 inches wide, 24 inches deep. Weight is approximately 60 pounds. Manufacturer: None Model: None Class: Other
