About the Item

PIERRE-JULES MÊNE French, 1810-1879 "Giselle" Study of a Whippet with Ball Patinated bronze an atelier casting circa 1870 signed in base "P.J. MÊNE" Item # 109JEW22P A wonderful little cabinet bronze cast in the atelier of Pierre-Jules Mêne, the study of Giselle is an adaption of Mêne's group of Jiji et Giselle, the model capturing the smaller whippet with a ball at her feet. It was included in Mêne's catalogue of 1846 as Levrette Seule (Giselle), sur un tapis with recorded dimensions of 10 cm x 15 cm x 93 cm. The surface quality is magnificent and reflects the attention to detail and fine texture only achieved in casts executed personally by Mêne in his atelier foundry. The model is sensitive and the overall feel is silky to the touch. Note the refined claws with individual hairs drawn out in the fur of the paws, the intricate texture of the ball and the delicate tail that curves around the haunches. It is signed in the ground of the incised carpet covering the base "P.J. MÊNE".
