A bronze sculpture titled Coming Through the Rye after an original work by well-listed artist Frederick Remington (American, 1861-1909).

The sculpture is mounted on a black rectangular base with a gold tone plate specifying the title.

Remington was born in Canton, New York, in 1861, and was a painter, illustrator, sculptor and writer, specializing in the Old American West, specifically cowboys and Indians. Remington’s paternal family emigrated from Alsace-Lorraine in the early 18th century and became hardware store owners. Remington’s father became a colonel in the Civil War and his maternal family were the founders of Windsor, Connecticut, in 1633. Remington’s cousin, Eliphalet Remington, was founder of the Remington Arms Company, America’s oldest gun maker and well as being a distant relative of General George Washington, our first president. Remington was married to his childhood sweetheart Eva Adele Caten and had no children. He died at the age of 48 from complications from an emergency appendectomy and is buried at the Evergreen Cemetery, Canton, New York. Remington will forever be one of our most respected and well-known Western sculptors.
