Orientalist masterpiece of Mongolian hunter astride horse, with greyhounds.Alfred Dubucand (1828-1894) was a French-born animalier sculptor, particularly known for his scenic groupings, high degree of realism, and motifs in the orientalist style. He studied under the famed Antoine-Louis Barye, before becoming a master of the animalist movement in his own right. Revered for his large bronzes in the lost-wax method, his work is highly respected today. Piece is marked with the iconic "DUBUCAND" on front left, and a foundry stamping number on rear left.
