Description
Pierre Jules Mêne (1810-1877)

Medor, 1840

Signed "P. J. Mêne" on top of base

Bronze, 6.25 by 12.2 by 3.5 inches

With a "Tiffany" stamp on the side of the base Pierre Jules Mêne was among the most prolific and commercially successful "Animalier" sculptors. Popular throughout the United States and Europe, Mêne won several awards at the Paris Salons, the First Class Medal at the London Exhibitions in 1855 and 1861, and was awarded the Cross of the "Legion d'Honneur." This work is a portrait of an Irish setter, named "Medor," and is a companion piece to Mêne's sculpture of a French spaniel named "Fabio." He designed the works with the intention that they would be displayed together facing each other.

Provenance: Private Collection, New Jersey, purchased from The Bronze Gallery, Virginia
