Pointer Standing over a Pheasant

Paul Edouard Delabriere

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a dog standing alert with its head turned towards its left. The dog has a lean physique with visible ribs and a muscular stance. It stands atop a textured base that resembles natural ground with some foliages. The sculpture is crafted in a dark bronze color, giving it a metallic sheen. The material seems solid and well-defined, capturing the intricate details of the dog's fur and the terrain it stands on. The relative size of the sculpture compared to its base suggests that it is a small-scale, realistic representation of a dog.
