Bronze Sculpture of a Whippet Dog After Antoine-Louis Barye
After Antoine-Louis Barye
France; ca. 1880
Bronze
Approximate size: 5.25”H x 7.25”W x 4”D
The 19th-century French sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye, renowned for his prolific output of bronze animaliers, produced one of his most iconic and sought-after pieces in his graceful whippet sculpture. Crafted using the lost-wax casting process, this work captures a powerful yet elegant energy, presenting the whippet in a dynamic, alert stance with its head turned backward and one front paw delicately lifted, suggesting mid-motion or playful curiosity. Barye meticulously detailed the sleek physique and muscular contours, emphasizing the lean form and tension that conveys the animal's characteristic speed and elegance. Resting on a subtle oval base, the sculpture uses the enduring medium of bronze to immortalize the physical beauty and spirited nature of the dog, effectively freezing a moment of fluid movement and keen awareness in solid form.
Condition: Good condition with slight verdigris spotting along the surface of the base.
