About the Item

Antique Porcelain Dog Portrait: Cavalier King Charles-Edmé Samson According to the model created by Johann Joachim Kaendler (MEISSEN around 1770). By the famous factory of Edmé Samson (1810-1891) Porcelain Circa 1860, Paris 6 x 6 x 4 Faithfully executed with careful and precise decoration from the fur to the endearing look. Though small, this porcelain depiction is a superb and tenderly created portrait of a Cavalier King Charles. The creation of this porcelain figure is done in a highly naturalistic study of their subject, Rarely ever can an artist capture soulful eyes of a Cavalier King Charles. The ecorche is also superb and very lifelike with the physical expression of the dog sitting on the left resulting in a gentle sway to the hip and attractive curvature of the back. Though it's a small package, it's all utterly believable. Condition is very good with no discernable losses or repairs.

Antique Bronze Dog Portrait of a Cavalier King Charles "Thigley" circa 1905
Located in SANTA FE, NM
Antique Bronze Dog Portrait of a Cavalier King Charles "Thigley" French School (possibly Franck Burty Haviland) Lost wax bronze casting Circa 1910 5 7/8 x 9 x 3 1/4 A sophisticated bronze casting of a Cavalier King Charles spaniel made in lost wax casting (cire perdue) from the beginning of the 20th century by Valsuani Foundry. This an unusual bronze approached in its aesthetic that’s reminiscent of the work of great animal sculptors of the second half of the 19th century except in this presentation which is more avant-garde for the time with a much looser, more impressionistic execution.
