Description

Paul Joseph Raymond Gayrard was born in 1807 in Clermont-Ferrand and died in 1855 in Enghien-les-Bains. He was a French sculptor who was a student of François Rude and David d'Angers. He exhibited at the Salon de Paris from 1827, he was awarded a second class medal in 1834 and then obtained a first class medal in 1846 and 1848. Very popular from his first exhibitions, he produced numerous busts of personalities, an equestrian statue of Napoleon III as well as numerous animal subjects.
His works are present in many museums, Caen, Le Havre, Paris at the Comédie Française, Rodez and Tours.
Jean Charles Hachet in his "Dictionnaire Illustré des Sculpteurs Animaliers" where our greyhound is represented, writes about these sculptures: "They are finely worked pieces with a very expressive look". Pierre Kjellberg shows the same dog lying down in his book: "Les Bronzes du XIXe Siècle".
It is signed on the terrace Gayrard, located in "London" and dated 1848, which allows some to evoke that he would have lived some time in England, but nothing comes to accredit this thesis.
Bronze with medal patina.
Dimensions length 32 cm, width 15 cm.
