Pair of Large Patinated Bronze Hunting Dog Models by Moigniez

About the Item

Pair of large patinated bronze hunting dog models by Moigniez French, late 19th century Measures: height 43cm, width 58cm, depth 21cm Made in the late nineteenth century by the fine and acclaimed maker of animalier sculptures Jules Moigniez, these large patinated bronze sculptures depict a symmetrically designed pair of hunting dogs. One is modelled as short-haired retriever which holds a hare in its mouth, the other is a longer-haired retriever that holds a pheasant. The fur, feathers, and textures of the dogs and animals, with a variety of muscular, soft, and wirey parts of anatomy are skilfully rendered by Moigniez, who is known for being able to delineate and emphatically bring out various textures in a highly naturalistic fashion, and the bronze is applied with a wonderfully realistic patina. These large works are exemplary of the best of his oeuvre, and make for an outstanding pair of sculptural and decorative objects.

By Jules Moigniez
Located in Newark, England
Pheasant and Weasel From our Sculpture collection, we are delighted to offer this French Bronze Pheasant by Jules Moigniez. The French Bronze of good scale cast with a large male Pheasant clambering upon a rocky outcrop startled by a Weasel hiding within the foliage. The Pheasant naturalistically cast with individual feathers visible, sharp claws and spurs above the foot. The Weasel sits hidden in the foliage visible from viewing the French Bronze from the side as it shocks the Pheasant. The French Bronze signed to the front left on a rock face J.
