Figurine - Jachthond met gevogelte - Bronze

This is a bronze sculpture of a hunting dog with prey, signed by the French sculptor Pierre-Jules Mène (1810-1879).

Pierre-Jules Mène was a pioneer in the French "Animalier" school, known for his detailed sculptures of animals.

The sculpture shows a hunting dog, often a standing dog or pointer, carrying prey such as a hare or duck in its mouth.

These sculptures are often cast in bronze with a brown patina and are known for their realistic anatomy, including visible musculature and ribs.
