Bronze print with nuanced brown patina , representing a stationary female dog , spaniel breed named "Diane", by Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810-1879) . Signature of the sculptor "P.J.MÊNE" in hollow , on the richly chiseled and decorated naturalist terrace .
Old edition bronze , period second part of the 19th century .
Very good state of conservation and patina .

Sizes : 10.8 cm x 14.2 cm x 8.2 cm

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

Pierre - Jules Mene (1810-1879)

Pierre - Jules Mene , is a French sculptor , born March 25 , 1810 in Paris , city where he died on May 20 1879 .

P.J Mene specialized in small bronzes, and did not produce work for public statuary .
His animal subjects have enjoyed great popular success .
Exclusive publisher of his works , the perfection of his productions is widely recognized .
He reveals himself , with Antoine-Louis Barye , as the one whose success has been the most constant , and this over the longest period .
