Note du spécialiste

In order to depict the movement of the horse accurately in 'The Mountain Man,' Frederic Remington relied on his collection of photographs of military officers as well as a live model, his friend and military Rough Rider, General Leonard Wood, who had served in the Spanish-American War. Remington changed the position of the horse's hind leg at cast number 9. The present example reflects that change to a more natural body position.
