The Scalp
Frederic Remington1898
Frederic Remington Art Museum

The Scalp depicts its Sioux subject holding the scalp of his enemy aloft in triumph. The tension between the stereotyped savagery of the figure and its heroic treatment creates a subject to be both feared and admired. Remington created 22 different subjects in bronze. The Scalp was the fourth sculpture.
