Frederic Remington (American, 1861-1909). "Cavalry in an Arizona Sand-Storm" a hand-colored woodblock engraving from Harper's Weekly, New York, September 14, 1889. Frederic Remington's portrayals of cowboys, Native Americans, and their horses have come to signify the Wild West and "Cavalry in an Arizona Sandstorm" certainly does not disappoint in this regard. In addition to Remington's marvelous composition and uncanny knack for capturing the character of his subjects as well as the drama of the theme, the woodblock engraving is beautifully hand colored. A wonderful piece of art and history, set in a custom, museum-quality wooden frame with a rich finish, a decorative stippled motif, and an elegant inner moulding. Size of matte opening: 15" L x 20" W (38.1 cm x 50.8 cm) Size: 26.5" L x 31.5" W (67.3 cm x 80 cm)
The painting after which this woodblock was created is part of the Amon G. Carter Collection in Fort Worth, Texas (accession number 1961.244).
