This spelter sculpture with brown patina, representing a mare and her foal, is a beautiful illustration of the work of Pierre-Jules Mne, a 19th century French animal sculptor.
It testifies to the popularity of his creations, even after his death in 1879.
Pierre-Jules Mne (1810-1879) is considered the father of modern animal sculpture.
He has devoted his career to representing animals in their diversity, with attention to anatomical detail and a particular sensitivity.
His works, often small in size, were highly prized by the bourgeoisie of his time.
This sculpture represents a mare and her foal, in a protective attitude. The mare, with her head lowered, seems to be watching over her little one.
The foal, for its part, seeks contact with its mother.
The scene is full of tenderness and realism.
This animal sculpture, of great finesse, is a beautiful decorative object. It will find its place in a stylish interior, bringing a touch of elegance and charm.
