    Bronze proof with brown patina , depicting a hunting dog , of the pointer breed named "Marly", by the sculptor Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810-1879) .
    The "Chien Braque (Marly)" , was exhibited at the Salon of 1867 by P.J Mêne .
    The dog is shown at a standstill , its front paw raised , it is frozen , looking towards the horizon on the lookout for prey , its senses are alert .
    Bronze signed "P.J.MÊNE" in hollow , on the naturalist terrace , decorated with vegetation .
    Old edition sculpture , period second half of the 19th century .
    Very good state of conservation and patina .

    Dimensions : 20.7 cm x 27.7 cm (terrace) / 29.5 cm (at the dog's tail) x 10.5 cm 

    In Mêne's work, the dog is the beloved and pampered animal , studied and represented more than all the others .
    If hunting is the axis of his work , the dog is its most important component
     .
    In animal sculptures , Mêne is the artist who left us the most models of canids , all perfectly treated in a realistic manner , and represented with an artistic truth and an anatomical rigor that will not weaken over the years .
