Pierre Jules Mène

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sculpture titled "Whippet" by Pierre Jules Mène. The sculpture is a dark brown, bronze-colored dog with a long, slender body and head, resembling a Whippet. The dog has a long, narrow muzzle and folded ears. The dog's body is positioned in a recumbent pose, with its front legs stretched out in front and its hind legs tucked underneath. The dog's head is held high and turned to the left. The sculpture is mounted on a green marble base with a rectangular shape and three visible steps. The base has a dark green and white marbled pattern. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
