"My Bunkie" is an iconic oil painting completed in 1899 by American artist Charles Schreyvogel (1861–1912), who is renowned for his depictions of the American West. The painting is one of Schreyvogel's most famous works and is often celebrated for its dynamic portrayal of life in the Old West. The term "bunkie" refers to a soldier's companion or bunkmate, reflecting the camaraderie and close bonds formed between soldiers.

The artwork captures a dramatic moment of a cavalryman and his bunkie in a perilous situation. The central figures are two soldiers, with one reaching down from his horse to pull his companion up to safety. This act of rescue and the depiction of trust and loyalty between the soldiers are central themes of the painting. Schreyvogel's attention to detail and his commitment to authenticity in the portrayal of the uniforms, weapons, and other accoutrements of the soldiers contribute to the painting's historical value and its appeal to audiences interested in the military history of the American frontier.

"My Bunkie" is celebrated for its technical excellence, emotional depth, and its vivid portrayal of the Western experience. The painting's composition, with its dynamic lines and the dramatic tension of the rescue, showcases Schreyvogel's skill in capturing movement and emotion. The artwork's significance is further enhanced by its historical context, as it was created during a period of American expansion and the closing of the frontier, which was a time of both fascination and nostalgia for the era of the Wild West.

Charles Schreyvogel's "My Bunkie" has been featured in numerous exhibitions and has held a place of honor in private and public collections. Its influence extends beyond the art world, as it has also been referenced in popular culture and has contributed to the romanticized image of the American West. The painting stands as a testament to Schreyvogel's legacy as one of the foremost painters of Western themes at the turn of the 20th century.
