A magnificent French bronze sculpture capturing the tender bond between mare and foal
'JUMENT ARABE ET SON POULAIN'. This exquisite casting, executed after Pierre Jules Mene's
(1810-1879) celebrated model, showcases the renowned sculptor's mastery of equine form and movement. The naturalistic oval base bears Mene's signature
'P. J. MENE' , authenticating this 19th-century piece (
CIRCA 1880). Standing 12 inches
(30.5 cm.) high and spanning nearly 20 inches
(50 cm.) in length, this bronze group exemplifies the refined animalier tradition that defined Mene's legacy. A distinguished addition to any collection of fine decorative arts.
