About the Item
Édouard-Paul Delabrierre (French, 1829–1912), Hind (Deer) Beside a Stump — Fire-Gilt Bronze on White Marble, early 20th century
A crisply chased, fire-gilt bronze study of a doe stepping alertly across a rocky clearing, her head thrown upward as she passes a felled tree stump strewn with oak leaves. The naturalistic oval terrace—signed “Delabrierre” at one end—sits within a moulded gilt bronze collar that crowns a stepped, biscuit-white Carrara marble plinth, the cool stone beautifully offsetting the warm gold surface. The lost-wax cast captures the hind’s sinewy musculature, textured coat, and delicate hooves with striking fidelity; high points show gentle burnishing, while recessed areas retain a soft matte glow. Delabrierre, a prominent member of the 19th-century French Animalier school, was celebrated for his lifelike portrayals of wildlife and hunting subjects, exhibiting regularly at the Paris Salon from 1848 to 1882. Dimensions (overall): 7.5 in H × 10.5 in W × 4.75 in D (≈ 19 × 27 × 12 cm). Excellent condition, with only minor rubbing to extremities and a few faint age specks to the marble.

Paul-Édouard Delabrièrre (French, 1829–1912), Bronze of Two Hounds, 19th Century
An impressive 19th-century French bronze sculpture depicting two hounds, finely modeled with exceptional naturalism and detail, signed E. Delabrièrre. The dogs are shown in dynamic contrast: one with its head raised in alert attention, the other sniffing the ground, perfectly capturing the instinctive behavior and vitality of hunting dogs. The sculpture rests on an integral bronze base with a rich green patina and traces of gilt highlights, enhancing its surface depth and visual interest.
Paul-Édouard Delabrièrre (1829–1912) was a prominent French animalier sculptor, part of the celebrated 19th-century movement that included Barye, Cain, and Fremiet.

He quickly gained recognition for his energetic and lifelike portrayals of animals, particularly hunting dogs, horses, lions, and exotic wildlife.
