The bronze sculpture of a ewe with lamb (La brebis et son agneau) is the work of the French animalier sculptor Pierre‑Jules Mène, signed P.J. MÈNE 1845. This bronze was one of five animal sculptures that Mène presented at the Paris Salon in 1845. The sculpture depicts a lamb nursing beneath a standing sheep wearing a bell around its neck. The bronze has a dark patina and was cast without a foundry mark, characteristic of earlier 19th‑century casts, suggesting that it was cast in Mène’s own foundry.
You now have a unique opportunity to own an original work by a renowned French sculptor, whose works are also represented in museums as significant examples of European art.
Pierre‑Jules Mène (1810–1879) was one of the most important French animalier sculptors of the 19th century. He became known for his realistically modeled bronze sculptures of domestic and wild animals, which he regularly exhibited at the Paris Salon. He also operated his own foundry in Paris, where his models were cast in bronze, making his works highly sought after by collectors of 19th‑century decorative art.
