Born in … more Proof in bronze with a golden patina after Pierre-Albert Laplanche (1854-1935), representing a German shepherd dog at rest.
Born in 1854, Laplanche studied in Reims before devoting himself to sculpture. He lived in Château-Thierry, in the Aisne region of France, where he enjoyed hunting with his German shepherd. His meticulous observation of animals oriented him towards animal sculpture. He came to sculpture relatively late, but was a very talented artist who exhibited at the "French Artists" and at the National Society.
"The German Shepherd" is a touching work featuring his favorite animal. The dog stands still, looking into the distance. A beautiful patina highlights his coat and the expression of his eyes. This faithful companion wears a collar partly studded.
This endearing animal work will delight lovers of man's best friend and of this breed of dog known for its great loyalty.
