Bronze group with brown patina , depicting two greyhounds playing ball , by the sculptor Pierre - Jules Mêne (1810-1879) .
The group consists of the greyhound “Jiji” and the greyhound “Giselle” .
Signature of the sculptor “PJ .MÊNE” in hollow , on the naturalist terrace representing a carpet .
Sculpture of old edition , period second half of the 19th century .
Very good state of conservation and patina .

Dimensions : 14.5 cm x 21.3 cm x 12 cm

The Group of "Two Greyhounds Playing Boules" is the counterpart of the Group “Greyhound and King Charles” .

In Mêne's work , the dog is the animal loved and pampered , studied and represented more than all the others .
If hunting is the axis of his work , the dog is the constitutive element par excellence .
In animal sculptures , Mêne is the artist who left us the most models of canids , all perfectly treated in a realistic manner , and represented with an artistic truth and an anatomical rigor that will not weaken over the years .
