Four Winds Collection is proud to offer the followingbronze casting after Pierre Jules Mene of "Cheval a la Barriere (Djinn)" AKA "Barbary Stallion (Djinn)".

We beleive this piece was produced late 1880-1890's timeframe after Mene died during the time his son-in-laws (Auguste Cain) who produced the Mene bronzes (sculptures). After Cain died the Susse Foundry purchased P. J. Mene molds and produced this bronze with Susse Foundry mark.

This piece does not have the Susse Foundry mark.

This is not a casting from 1849 time frame which was exhibited at the Salon.

I have included a number of images and show the bottom. The bronze is in very goodto excellent condition. There is a crack in one fence piece whichwe do not know if that is damage or was done to represent an older fence. The branch on the ground under the front legs alsoshows a break in the branch. Both locations do not look like damage.

I have not seen a real early 1849 casting to compare, however I do havea current high quality reproduction of the same piece and this one hassignificantly more detail then the reproduction.".

This Mene piece is also known as Horse by Fence bronze sculpture.
