Like his master, he could be categorized among the enimalier sculptors because of his portraits of horses and dogs and his affiliation with Fremiet. Also attributed to him, however, are some equestrian figures of horses and riders, mostly portraying the military of Tourgueneff's own time or of the First Empire. Many of his works were cast in bronze at the Susse Freres foundry in Paris. Antique and Vintage Animal Bronze Figures, Figurines, Statues, Home Decor, and Collectibles.
