A French 19th century Silvered-Bronze Group of "The Falconer", Signed by P.J. Mene. This silvered-bronze depicts an Arab falconer on horseback, signed by P.J. Mene in cast to naturalistic base. The sculpture depicts a male figure on horseback, the duo adeptly cast, hand-chased, and hand-chiseled with exceptional craftsmanship. The group was then completly silvered, creating a marvelous finish on the bronze. The man holds his arm over his head to catch the eponymous falcon. The moment depicted is one of great momentum: the horse, reins pulled by the rider, slows, the tension in its body palpable, as the falconer attempts to retrieve his falcon.
