Antoine Barye Bronze Great Dane

This young-looking Great Dane strikes a proud pose atop both a bronze base, and a black marble block with a beveled edge. This is a signed Antoine Louis Barye (1796-1875) bronze with a very deep brown patina. The attention to detail in the dog’s eyes, jawline and musculature really stands out, and draws you towards him to take a closer look! This is a truly sophisticated piece, just waiting to grace a mantel or to enhance an elegant office or study. It would make an extraordinary gift for any dog-lover or Great Dane owner. pre-1875
