The sculpture depicts a dog standing alert with its head turned towards its left. The dog has a lean physique with visible ribs and a muscular stance. It stands atop a textured base that resembles natural ground with some foliages. The sculpture is crafted in a dark bronze color, giving it a metallic sheen. The material seems solid and well-defined, capturing the intricate details of the dog's fur and the terrain it stands on. The relative size of the sculpture compared to its base suggests that it is a small-scale, realistic representation of a dog. — Paul Edouard Delabriere, Pointer Standing over a Pheasant, 19th-early 20th century, bronze, Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon, 1999.79.21
