Although Mene was best known for his sculptures of domestic animals, he also created many fine models of wild animals. He did foxes, pheasants, and many species of deer.

This small bronze of a Fawn Reclining is finely detailed and captures the Fawn at rest but alert. Mene also used this fawn in other groups but the Fawn alone is rare. A fine 19th century bronze with a rich dark brown patina that was cast by Mene in his own foundry.
