Pierre-Jules Mêne
(1810 - 1879)
Grazing Goat
Bronze with medal patina
H.: 15 cm; W.: 25.4 cm
Signed “PJ MÊNE” on the base
Dated “1844” in the front left corner of the base but hardly legible
Old cast bronze, PJ Mêne workshop
The model of the Grazing Goat dates from 1844. It was exhibited at the Salon the following year, with a Norman Bull, a Cow and her calf, a Sheep with baby, a Billy Goat and a Spanish Greyhound.
Mêne was then a leading artist, recognized for the finesse of his work. The chiseling of this bronze thus reveals a profusion of details.
