Pierre-jules Mêne (1810-1879) – Pointing Hunting Dog
Artist: Pierre-jules Mêne
A superb bronze sculpture of a hunting dog on point, finely chiseled and remarkably lifelike. The sculptor captures the animal's tension with remarkable realism: head lowered, paw raised, and tail spread, at the precise moment it comes to a point. The surface is richly modeled, with a dynamic rendering of the fur and a beautiful, nuanced golden-brown patina. The bronze rests on an oval red marble base adorned with a molding, forming an elegant and balanced whole. Pierre-Jules Mêne, a major figure in 19th-century animal sculpture, captured the attitudes of both domestic and hunting animals with rare sensitivity.
