This piece represents Mêne’s iconic design “Cerf Bramant” (Bellowing Stag), a hallmark of the French animalier school that captures the raw strength and graceful motion of the stag in mid-cry.
Beautifully detailed and naturally patinated, the sculpture rests on a solid black metal plinth and bears the incised signature “P.J. MÊNE” on the base.
The hollow-cast bronze displays crisp modeling throughout the body and antlers, offering a refined decorative accent suitable for both classic and contemporary interiors.
A timeless example of French bronze craftsmanship inspired by one of the era’s foremost sculptors.
