Mêne, a pioneer in animal sculpture, is renowned for the quality and perfection of his work.
This bronze depicts a spaniel dog in guard position, staring at a partridge that the canine mistakes for a pile of grass. In hunting, the spaniel is a pointing dog whose job is to flush out game.
The piece rests on an oval-shaped base of grey marble.
The artist brilliantly captures the dog's every expression. As always with Pierre-Jules Mêne, this work will appeal to nature lovers.
