American sculptor, Constance Whitney Warren, was best known for her Western subjects, such as the bronze statute that sits outside the Texas State Capitol building of a cowboy riding a rearing horse. The statute was erected 1925.
The picture below was taken on January 16, 2012--interestly, Constance Whitney Warren's birthday was January 17, 1888. My son and I were playing catch on the Capitol grounds, when I remembered that I had taken a picture of the cowboy thirteen years earlier. I told my son I had to take a picture of the cowboy and compare it with the one I took back then.
