    Description

    Signed ADELGUNDE VOGT GREYHOUND / WHIPPET SCULPTURE ON BASE (This same sculpture is only rarely seen or available for sale, originated in the Netherlands, Vogt Bio below, she was the first woman inducted into the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, since women were not allowed at that time, she was made an honorary member).
    Standing Greyhound (or Whippet) sculpture attached to bronze base, dog licking bandaged wound.  Without doubt one of the most beautiful pieces of sculpture available for the breed. Only one in my possession at this time. Vogt This was purchased in the 1990s.
    At that time, signage was extremely limited in scope. When you saw a figurine such as this displayed in a window, it typically signified that this was a veterinary surgery or a place where your animal could be treated. Signage has come a long way, or NOT, depending on your perspective.
    8" High including base by 12" Long base by 5" wide. The coloration of this bronze is pretty accurate, it is not the dark brown bronze sometimes seen in museums, I can only guess there are different mixes of exact metals to produce those different colors. All photos I have seen of this piece in the past match this lighter golden bronze coloration, just noting that.

    Adelgunde Vogt
    (July 17, 1811 – June 10, 1892) was a Danish sculptor. She was the first female sculptor in Denmark. She is most known for her sculptures of animals in ivory and bronze, but she also made portrait busts.
    Biography
    Emilie Adelgunde Vogt was the daughter of Michael Johan Christian Herbst (1775–1830) and Michelle Elisabeth Christiance Charlotte Stibolt (1788–1861). Her father was a Commissioner General and the director of the military garment factory. She spent her youth in
    Sorø
    and
    Slagelse
    . After the death of her father, the family moved to Copenhagen in 1837.
    She first received instruction in modeling from sculptor student Johan Peter Heldt. She was a student of
    Hermann Ernst Freund
    in 1837. From 1838 she began to exhibit. She trained in the studio of
    Bertel Thorvaldsen
    in 1840. She was proposed to be inducted into the
    Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts
    in 1843, but as women were not allowed to be members, she was instead made an honorary member. In 1839, she was awarded the Neuhausen Prize. In 1844, she received a travel allowance and went to study in Italy.
