French Mene Bronze Hunter Dog Bloodhound Figurine

You are viewing a wonderful bronze casting showing a man walking his dog. The piece is by PJ Mene. Pierre Jules Mene (1810-1877) was the most prolific animal sculptor of his time and worked in Paris, France. He was famous for his naturalistic representations of all creatures from the animal kingdom, particularly with horses as can be seen here. The signature Mene can be seen on the base (please see close up). This is a later recasting from the original.

Mene has really caught the beauty and poise to the scene with great skill. Check out details like the muscletone to the dog and the way the mans clothes have been rendered, not to mention his facial expression. The patina is fantastic and this sits on an oval marble base. It is offered in great condition, ready for home use right away and we will ship to anywhere in the world.

You are viewing a spectacular art deco bronze sculpture of a lady and two borzoi dogs. The piece is signed Poertzel on the base. Poertzel was born at Scheibe on 24th October 1876, he became one of the most prominent art deco sculptors and this, the ‘Aristocrats’ is one of his most famous works. This would be a later casting from the original with some age.

The scene somehow embodies the 1920s style aesthetic as the tall, elegant women with a Native American look takes the two borzoi hounds for a walk. The symmetry is wonderful as the sleek dogs somehow echo the lithe women, her dress fanning. The piece has been cast from different coloured bronze to dazzling affect and the patina is wonderful.

We’ve taken various close up photos so we can show you the quality of the casting – in particular on parts like her hands, face, the dogs paws and coat. Amazing. Forget cheap Asian copies this is the real deal.

She stands on the marble base which has been cut from various different coloured stones with a tiered affect. The marble is smooth and has been polished so is offered chip and flake free. This has a museum like quality to it. It is very heavy. Please also note this is based in the US where we will ship from so quotes will be from there. We bought this from a dealer in Les Halles Paris whilst on a recent French buying trip.

It’s an important work and could be yours so get your bids in early as she won’t be hanging around for long
