''My Bunkie'' is an iconic oil painting by American artist Charles Schreyvogel (1861–1912), created in 1899. Schreyvogel, known for his detailed and dramatic depictions of the American West, was particularly focused on the life of the U.S. Cavalry during the Indian Wars. ''My Bunkie'' stands out as one of his most recognized works and is often cited as a prime example of his artistic legacy.

The painting illustrates a poignant moment of camaraderie and survival in the harsh conditions of the Western frontier. It depicts a cavalry soldier, or "trooper," helping his wounded comrade, or "bunkie" (slang for bunkmate), onto the back of his horse amidst a bleak and snowy landscape. The term "bunkie" itself signifies the close bond between soldiers who shared living quarters and often faced life-threatening situations together.

Schreyvogel's attention to detail, from the accurate portrayal of the military uniforms and equipment to the palpable tension and urgency in the scene, reflects his commitment to authenticity and historical accuracy. He often consulted with veterans and visited military posts to ensure the veracity of his work. ''My Bunkie'' captures not only a moment of human connection and loyalty but also serves as a visual document of the era it represents.

The painting gained significant attention and acclaim, contributing to Schreyvogel's reputation as one of the leading artists of the American West. It was awarded the Thomas B. Clarke prize at the National Academy of Design in 1900, which recognized the best figure composition painted in the United States by an American artist. Today, ''My Bunkie'' is part of the collection at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming, where it continues to be admired for its artistic merit and historical significance.
