While he worked almost exclusively as an animal sculptor or "Animalier", he had a fine eye for capturing the human element in his Equestrian and portrait groups. Some of his most successful works were his studies of French-occupied North Africa and his Eastern nomadic subjects, These were often hunt scenes with horse and rider. Dubucand bronzes are always exceptionally well-detailed with special attentions shown to the patina, a skill-set he learned from Barye; his early works are often characterized by more complex and varied chemical patination. Dubucand’s work was exhibited every year at the Paris Salon from 1867 through 1883, these often exhibited as wax models and sometimes plaster. He achieved the ultimate recognition of a gold medal at the Paris Salon of 1879 for his group of bronze works.
