Mare and Stallion (mini), 1870 by Pierre Jules Mene
This sculpture was one of Mene’s most famous pieces of art work. This sculpture was first put out for viewers to see in the Paris Salon in 1952. The public went nuts over this sculpture, later this sculpture was made in three different sizes. The sculpture in my presentation is the smallest one made and is considered a miniature. In this sculpture both horses are stallions, whereas in the original sculpture it showed a mare and a stallion. Still to this day this piece of artwork is very popular in demand.

“J.C. Dye is a contemporary Western sculptor born in 1948, he lives in Montana and is a self taught artist” (www.bronze-galary.com). J.C. is highly known for his sculptures and how well modeled and detailed they are. Almost all of his sculptures are that of the Western theme such as Native Americans, Indians, and animals. In this sculpture J.C. shows and Indian on his horse, the Indian is holding a bow and looking for something to hunt. In this particular sculpture there were only 15 made, so if you see this sculpture know it is very rare and very popular.
