"This sculpture, donated by Mrs. Helen Groves and the Kleberg family, is done in three-quarter life size. Reno, a Western artist famous for his portraits of horses that have won the Kentucky Derby, said the sculpture represents an effort to portray the character of an individual who helped to win the West. Robert Justus Kleberg, Jr. was the one-time patriarch of the King Ranch."
