"French Bulldog" by Rembrandt Bugatti

 This is an exceptionally fine bronze sculpture by Rembrandt Bugatti (Italian/French, 1884-1916) of his mother's pet French Bulldog.  It depicts the lively little dog, its head tilted and the body twisted as it readies to spring into action.  This is a sculpture that needs to be seen from all angles to appreciate the talent of the art. Please click on the thumbnail images above to see additional views. We were fortunate to be able to make a mold from an extremely rare original casting of this artwork.  Every original detail is intact, even Bugatti's thumbprints appear in the surface texture.  The foundry stamp "A.A. Hebrard Cire Perdue" is clearly visible, as is the number "2" indicating that this was the second casting of the total edition of just 3 castings.  Bugatti has signed the sculpture "RBugatti Paris 1905."  We have cast French Bulldog in our own California art foundry using 18 lbs. (8 kg) of pure bronze.  The sculpture is finished with a classic patina in tones of chocolate brown and amber.  It stands 11" high by 11" wide (28 cm high x 28 cm wide).  Each sculpture is individually stamped with its unique number from our edition limited to just 100 castings.  This is a fine bronze sculpture, made to the highest standards.  It will endure to be treasured by many future generations of both art lovers and dog lovers.  We guarantee your satisfaction. For more information or to arrange international shipment, please send email to info@artbronze.com or call us at 818.841.7979.
