ALFRED DUBUCAND
French, 1828-1894
Arab Hunter on Horseback with Two Greyhounds
Patinated bronze | signed "DUBUCAND" to base | cold-stamped "E.V." and "1476" | cast late 19th century
Item # 302MZB16P
A rarely found model of Dubucand's Arab Hunter on Horseback, this is the smaller "cabinet bronze" size that features particularly well on desks and small tables. It is a delightful sand-cast example with a reddish-brown overall patina and features a seated Arab horseman looking out into the distance having spotted something important from his mount. His pair of greyhound hunting dogs are at ease, though one lifts its head having perhaps caught the scent of prey.
