Pierre Jules Mene was born in 1810 in Paris to a metal turner. He spent his early years in his father's foundry and went on to start his own, where he became one of the most successful Animalier artists of the 19th century. Mene was influenced by Edwin Landseer, Carle Vernet, and Antoine-Louis Bayre. He exhibited his sculpture with the Paris Salon from 1838 onwards, as well as at London's Great Exhibitions in 1851 and 1862.
Provenance: Richard V. Strawbridge Collection, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
