This plaster-cast maquette, and accompanying drawing of a cowboy wrestling a steer, were studies produced in preparation for a bronze cast. Redlinger's untimely death put an end to those plans. This plaster maquette is the only extent example of Redlinger's sculpture to have survived. The strong line and form of the composition is clearly seen in the pencil sketch and translates exceptionally well into three dimensions in the plaster. Remnants of wax on the surface indicate a mold may have been prepared, but castings were never produced.<BR><BR>This is a one-of-a-kind object and will be the one and only opportunity for a collector to own a Frank Redlinger sculpture.<BR><BR>Provenance:<BR>Estate of Frank Redlinger<BR><BR> <B>Condition Report:</B> Excellent condition.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
