Basset debout, tête tournée à droite, second modèle (Standing basset, head turned to right, second model)

The present lot is a rare lifetime épreuve of Barye's second version of Basset debout, tête tournée à droite, conceived as the pendant to Basset debout, tête tournée à gauche (see lot 48). At the 1876 Atelier sale, the model was acquired and subsequently edited by the Graux-Marly foundry.
