- Pierre Jules Mene (French, 1810-1879)
Pierre Jules Mene (French, 1810-1879) "Plaque Lievre et Poisson", 1854, and "Plaque Canard et Becasse", 1855, a pair of patinated bronze nature morte plaques, the first depicting a hare and game fish, suspended by a cord and above a short ledge, signed upper right and under the ledge "P J Mene" and with presentation inscription in the upper right, "a mon ami Le Pottevin/P J Mene/1er Janvier 1854", the second depicting a duck and woodcock, suspended by a cord with a mesh blanket and cattails, signed upper right "P J Mene" above a presentation inscription "a mon ami/Le Poittevin/1855", each sight 9-1/8" x 4-7/8", presented in a molded oak frame, possibly original, within a beige velvet slip and narrow giltwood frame of later date, overall 19-1/4" x 15-1/4". Mene, unlike many other bronze artists, took a keen interest in the casting and chasing process for the production of his models and, from 1837, had his own foundry. This afforded him the opportunity to occasionally add details such as the presentation inscription here. The recipient "Le Poittevin" was almost certainly the French marine artist Eugene Le Poittevin (1806-1870), who was a member of Mene's intimate circle which also included animalier sculptors Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899) and Auguste Cain (1821-1894).
