Signed Parton and dated 1992, the sculpture reflects the deep sporting traditions associated with pointer-type breeds, dogs celebrated for centuries for their intelligence, stamina, and unwavering focus in the field.

Pointers originated in Europe as early as the 17th century, bred specifically to locate game birds with remarkable precision. Their signature “point”—the poised stance immortalized in this sculpture—became iconic in sporting art, symbolizing both the elegance and utility of well-trained hunting dogs. This bronze honors that legacy, capturing the breed’s lean musculature, short coat, and expressive posture with exceptional realism.

Set on a finely crafted wooden base, this is a heavy and substantial piece at over 8 pounds, giving it the feel of a true collector’s work. The textured ground beneath her paws adds to the sense of movement and purpose, as if she were frozen mid-step on rugged terrain.

A striking addition for admirers of sporting art, canine enthusiasts, or collectors of fine bronzes, this sculpture celebrates the timeless partnership between hunter and dog—one built on instinct, discipline, and centuries of tradition. See less
