Bronze proof with brown patina signed by the French sculptor Pierre Jules Mêne (1810-1979).
Mêne, a pioneer in animal sculpture, is known for the quality and perfection of his works.
This bronze depicts a spaniel dog on guard, staring fixedly at the partridge that this canine mistakes for a pile of grass. When hunting, the spaniel is a pointer whose job is to flush out game.
The whole rests on an oval gray marble plinth.
The artist brilliantly captures the slightest expression of this dog. As always with Pierre-Jules Mêne, this work will appeal to nature lovers.
