ANTIQUE #SA1213667

Bronze Sighthound By Pierre Jules Mene

£155    $208    €182
I have entitled this as a sighthound, as I think he looks more like a Borzoi than a grey hound or deerhound …. !
 
But the sculptors interpretation is clearly one of a recumbent and extremely elegant dog/hound.
 
Clearly signed
 
Pierre Mene 1810-1879
 
The bronze is attached to a shaped marble platform.
 
And a rather special detail shows one of the dog’s paws actually extending beyond the bronze base.
 
This has a wonderful patina and the hound has clearly been a much loved piece of art, as his head has a mellow colour which can only be a result of frequent contact… so he must have had frequent pats to his head.
