- 19th Century French Bronze Reclining Greyhound by Christopher Fratin, 1801-1864By Christophe FratinLocated in Stamford, CTVery sensitive rendering of a greyhound at rest with a rich dark brown patina with lighter highlights showing through.

Fratin was born in Metz, Moselle, France the son of a taxidermist. He first studied drawing under Pioche in Metz and later worked in Paris at the studio of Théodore Géricault. He exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1831 to 1842 and 1850–1862, as well as at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. Fratin never signed his bronzes but instead used a stamp showing his last name in straight block letters. Fratin received monumental commissions in France and elsewhere, including the Deux Aigles Gardant Leur Proie (Eagles and Prey, created 1850) displayed since 1863 in New York City’s Central Park.
