A very pretty bronze sculpture signed CAIN under the base

A very pretty subject by the artist.

Auguste Nicolas Cain (Paris, November 10, 1821 - Paris, August 25, 1894) was a French animal sculptor. He was the father of the painter and writer Georges Cain, and the man of letters and painter Henri Cain. After working in the family butcher's shop, Auguste Cain joined the studio of Alexandre Guionnet and then became a student of François Rude. Like Antoine-Louis Barye a few years earlier, he studied animal anatomy by drawing at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. In the 1840s, he proposed goldsmith models for the Fannière Brothers, Rudolfi, and Maison Christophe.
