Beautiful BRONZE OF COCK & HEN PIGEONS signed Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810 – 1879)

About the Item

Beautiful bronze of cock and hen pigeons signed Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810 – 1879). The piece displaying a muted bronze patina over fine and intricate detail. One of the most appealing of Mêne's sculptures that I have seen. Height 11cm. The piece is in excellent condition and is considered to be an original work produced by Mene himself during his lifetime. Pierre-Jules Mêne was a French sculptor and animal artist and is considered one of the greatest pioneers of animal sculpture in the 19th century.
