OGDENSBURG -- The Frederic Remington Art Museum has on loan a new Remington masterwork previously unknown to Remington scholars.

The oil painting shows a mounted Indian and was painted around 1889. The full color-painting is signed, and inscribed Fort Sill, I.T. The abbreviation means “Indian Territory,” which is modern-day Oklahoma.

“Adding this striking painting to the museum's Remington offerings is an exciting development,” Museum Director Laura Foster said. “This iconic western work has exactly what one looks for in Remington art. It complements the museum's holdings, which are diverse in media and subject. The newly loaned painting is a jewel among them.”

It now hangs in the museum's Albert P. Newell Gallery, next to “Charge of the Rough Riders.”

Until the lender sent a digital image in July, this painting was unknown to scholarship. We are very grateful that the owners, Nathalie G. Bradley and the MacElwee Family, have chosen to make the Frederic Remington Art Museum the host of its public debut.

The museum holds and displays the world's largest collection of original works by Frederic Remington. With this addition, the museum presents a highlight of Remington's early painting.

The Remington museum is at 303 Washington St.

It is open October 15 through May 15, Wednesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. and May 16 through October 14, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m.
