Spaniel Standing In Bronze Signed: J Moignez (1835-1894)

Hunting dog, spaniel standing still, on base also in bronze, the "underside" of which is hidden by an original wooden plaque. We can note the richness of the details as well as the golden patina very sought after at the time. The bronzes of J. Moignez are produced by his father, a metal gilder, who opened a foundry with this intention. We like to note the excellent quality of the casts thus produced and the variety of patinas. We can also note the " elegance of attitudes. After his death, his bronzes continued to be published until the beginning of the 20th century by Auguste Gouge who had succeeded his father and himself at the head of the foundry.
