Bronze Italian Greyhound by P. J. Mene
Pierre Jules Mene
An excellent example of an Italian Greyhound on an integral base with an open fan on the floor beneath by P. J. Mene, probably cast between 1850 and 1875. This model is exhibited in ' Animals in Bronze ' by Christopher Payne, page 202. A fine example with excellent original dark brown patination. Not to be confused with later poorer casts and reproductions.
