"My Bunkie" is a notable painting by the American artist Charles Schreyvogel, completed in 1899. Schreyvogel, who is renowned for his depictions of the American West, captures a dramatic and dynamic scene in this work, which has become one of his most celebrated pieces. The painting illustrates a moment of intense action and camaraderie among cavalry soldiers during the Indian Wars, a series of conflicts between the United States and various Native American tribes.

In "My Bunkie," Schreyvogel portrays a cavalryman heroically rescuing a fellow soldier, referred to as his "bunkie," from imminent danger. The term "bunkie" was commonly used among soldiers to denote a close companion or bunkmate. The painting is characterized by its vivid detail, emotional intensity, and the artist's meticulous attention to the accuracy of military uniforms and equipment of the period. Schreyvogel's use of light and shadow, along with his dynamic composition, effectively conveys the urgency and peril of the moment.

The painting was first exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York, where it received widespread acclaim. It played a significant role in establishing Schreyvogel's reputation as a premier painter of Western subjects. "My Bunkie" is often compared to the works of Frederic Remington, another prominent artist of the American West, although Schreyvogel's style is noted for its unique blend of realism and romanticism.

Today, "My Bunkie" is housed in the collection of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The painting continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and its vivid portrayal of a pivotal era in American history. Through "My Bunkie," Charles Schreyvogel has left an enduring legacy that captures the spirit and struggles of the American frontier.
