"The Hunting Dog And The Cherub"
Auguste Joseph Peiffer (1882-1886) was a Parisian sculptor specializing in allegorical and mythological works, who participated in various Salons between 1865 and 1879.He notably produced a small bronze on this theme, with a cherub holding back his dog. The work inspired the author of this larger version.
In this version, the cherub exhibits a bird that his dog has probably just caught.
The base is missing.
