Identifiable figures of a spaniel and a goose bolted onto an unidentified base. Spaniel standing leaning forward over a dead goose between its front legs. Modeling of spaniel's snout lacks detail, but chased lines that create texture of fur and very clear. The dog's proper left front leg is resting on goose. The neck and wing of the goose extend beyond border of base. The spaniel and the goose have been bolted on to a rectangular base that does not appear to be original. The BMA cast most closely resembles P&R CS 189, p. 463, illustration 593. Base: rectangular ground with sharp edges--does not appear to be original base.

Voyez-vous venir un courrier sur la route de St. Pétersbourg? - Je ne vois que la poudre qui poudroie!... et vous du coté de Constantinople? - Je n'aperçois que la vague qui vaguoie!

Honoré Daumier
Où allons-nous,où allons-nous?... nous marchons sur un volcan, l'abîme des révolutions est ouvert sous nos pas......le char de l'état est arrêté par le débordement de toutes ces mauvaises passions.
