Spaniel and Duck

Antoine-Louis Barye

Cleveland Museum of Art

Bronze sculpture of a spaniel standing over a dead duck. The spaniel is standing on a rocky base with its head lowered to inspect the duck. The dog has a long snout and floppy ears, with detailed fur texture. The duck lies on its back, with its legs splayed out to the side. The base is oval-shaped and has a copper-colored rim. The sculpture is set against a dark gray background. The artist's work depicts a hunting scene.
