Cats · Lying cat

It is no coincidence that the bronze sculptures of the French artist, Pierre Jules Mênes, can be found throughout the museums of the world. His animal representations equal studies of almost exact scientific perfection at rest and in motion. From 1928 onwards, the Nymphenburg manufactory began producing the first porcelain animal figurines with Mênes’ templates. And so it was that this lying cat came about. Like with all the other pieces produced in the masters’ workshops, its strong dark ornamental coat of paint is applied completely by hand.
