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.
