About the Item

This beautifully executed, antique terracotta figure was sculpted in France, circa 1920. The sculpture sits on a dark rocky base and features a fox terrier sited on his rear end and posing with the front left leg raised; wonderful face details including the collar around the neck. The work of art is signed on the front by the artist, T. Cartier, and is dressed with a plaque which reads: "Fox Terrier par Th. Cartier, Medaille d'Or 1927), for further authentication. The terracotta canine sculpture is in excellent condition and adorns a rich, old patinated finish. It would make a wonderful addition to a man's study or library. Thomas Francois Cartier (1879-1943), was a French animal sculptor who studied under Georges Gardet. He was known to have created many models of predatory animals including lions, big cats and particularly hunting dogs. He first exhibited his work at the Paris Salon of 1904, and continued to perfect his skill until he won a gold medal in 1927. Measures: 9" W x 6" H x 16"H.

Late 19th Century Animalier Sculpture entitled "Terrier" by Alfred Dubucand
By Alfred Dubucand
Located in London, GB
A wonderful late 19th Century Animalier bronze study of a standing terrier with its head raised and ears pricked in an alert position with excellent rich brown autumnal patina and fine hand chased surface detail, signed Dubucand ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Height: 11 cm Condition: Excellent Original Condition Circa: 1880 Materials: Bronze Book reference: Animals in Bronze by Christopher Payne SKU: 9206 ABOUT Dubucand Terrier Alfred Dubucand (25 November 1828 – 1894) Dubucand was born in Paris and was a French animalier sculptor of the 19th century. His works were often entered into the annual Salon art exhibition in Paris where he contributed works over the course of his career. He was one of the prize pupils of Antoine-Louis Barye. Dubucand made his debut at the 1867 Salon with a wax model of a dead pheasant, a rather inauspicious start when considering the higher quality sculptures he would submit later in his career. He modelled mainly animal groups, producing a number of deer, dog, and horse sculptures. His better casts feature a warm, mid-brown patination, sometimes coming in even lighter shades bordering on a very light yellow, being nearly the colour of the bronze metal itself. He frequently experimented with chemical patinas, learning the patination process from his teacher and mentor Barye who stretched the boundary with his now famous dark green patinas. Dubucand paid strict attention to the anatomical detail of his subjects, often being so concise that he actually showed the veins in the legs of his deer and elk...
