About the Item

Though talented enough to exhibit at the Paris Salon multiple years, works by the artist are rare. While the artist worked primarily in bronze, depicting equine scenes, he also produced works of dogs and other animals. Little is known about de Ruille, but he is known to have exhibited at the Salon between 1884 and 1921. He was a sculptor who worked predominantly in bronze, and his main subject was equine scenes, though he also produced bronzes of dogs and other animals.
