New York: R. H. Russell, 1901. Color printed lithograph by R. H. Russell after the original pastel drawing by Remington. This splendid image shows a white moustached cavalry officer cooly looking to his right while his horse, all hooves in the air, races along. It demonstrates Remington's complete command of form, proportion and subject matter. The officer holds the reins loosely with his left hand, while his right hand rest on this belt. He is perfectly balanced and confident, trusting his horse to fly at top speed, while he looks towards the horizon. R.H. Russell published the dramatic portfolio of prints from eight vivid pastels that were included in Remington's first one-man gallery exhibition in December of that same year. This portfolio, complete with text and an introduction by Owen Wister, featured four Indian subjects and four cowboy/military subjects and became collectively known as A Bunch of Buckskins . Today, this Buckskin set is arguably the most highly prized of Remington prints among collectors.
