RARE ANTIQUE 19TH C MINIATURE BRONZE COW BY FRENCH ANIMALIER SCULPTOR P.J. MENE :
$852.69


A delightful 19th century French Bronze Cow by the highly regarded Sculptor P. J. Mene (1810-1877).
Cast in the finest French manor, Mene was renowned for his attention to detail with particular emphasis on the animals anatomy.
The Animals Ribs and Bones are nearly always accentuated making his animals look almost emaciated. Mene was one of the first sculptors to accomplish this stylewhich makes his animalier look so realistic.The Cow is standing on a naturalistic base under which is the original covering. The Bronze itself has a wonderful age patina and is a joy to hold and admire.
The horns and tail of the Cow have been cast separately and affixed at the time of casting. Because of this the tail, over time is a little loose, but stable.It was made in this way because of its miniature nature and could not have been cast as a whole, or in one piece.
The Cow is Signed by P. J. Mene on the base but sadly this has rubbed/worn over time and is bearly deciferable anymore.
Truly a Fine and Very Rare Genuine Miniature Bronze by one of the World\'s finest Animaliers.
Displays wonderfully and is most tactile.
