Henri Émile Adrien Trodoux (1815-1881) was a French sculptor specializing in animal art. Active in the 19th century, he was mainly known for his bronzes representing domestic or hunting animals — dogs, pheasants, birds and hunting scenes — executed with a keen sense of naturalistic detail. His works, often signed "Trodoux" on the base, demonstrate a precise observation of animal movement and attitude, which earned them appreciation among animal sculpture enthusiasts of his time. Some notable pieces, such as Amour Désarme, regularly appear in auction catalogs and contribute to maintaining the reputation of his work.
