Sculptor - Pierre Jules Mene
Title - Chien Epagneul
Sand Cast Bronze Atelier Pierre Jules Mene Circa 1855 4 1/2" height by 11 1/2" length (11.5 cm by 29.2 cm)
Pierre Jules Mene's portraits of hunting dogs are superb and this model of a Setter shows the dog frozen in the instant of having scented a bird. Mene has captured the intensity of the dog while he is on point and waiting for his master to come up. A very fine and lively subject, this bronze is quite rare and does not come on the market often. It is a good early cast with sharp detail and is finished in a rich red brown patina.
