This extraordinary, bronze, of "Saintongeois Pointers", was modeled by Pierre Jules Mene during the late 1800's.
Entitled "Bitch with Pups", it depicts the mother dog protecting her litter of nursing puppies. The figurine has an incised signature, and it is mounted to a very heavy marble plinth. The entire piece is 8" tall x 14 1/2" long x 8 1/2 " wide.
It is in excellent condition.
The detailing of this elegant family of dogs is absolutely exquisite, and this moment, captured in bronze is extraordinarily tender.
It is the perfect size to fit beautifully on a mantel, and to draw all the attention in the room directly to this beautiful canine family.
If you are a collector of bronze canines, this is certainly one you will want to add to your collection. The realistic depiction of the endearing devotion of this dog to her pups, is truly amazing.
