Joli Bronze, signed Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810-1879), Parisian Sculptor considered one of the main representatives of small Animal Sculptures of his time.
This almost Bicentenary Work illustrates a hunting dog, of the Braque breed, a male, at a standstill. It is an Animal with a Longilinear morphology and Harmonious and Balanced proportions that presents itself to us. Her dress is made of short hairs.
His head is turned back. His ears are hanging down and his gaze is Keen, he seems to be keeping alert on his four legs. Something catches his attention.
The Canidae is camped on plant soil: its hunting ground.
This Hunting scene is based on a Red Griotte Marble from the Pyrenees, oval in shape and with molded edges. The latter offers a thickness of 3 cm.
A pledge of authenticity, the signature "PJ MÊNE" is engraved in the floor of the Representation.
It is with Realism and Agility that the Artist has shaped this Dog, Faithful Companion of Human. He was able to bring out the Natural instinct of the Animal, Tracker and Predator.
