Paul-Édouard Delabrierre , born in Paris , March 29 , 1829 is a French animal sculptor .

Paul-Édouard Delabrierre studied painting with the painter Jean-Baptiste Delestre , before turning to sculpture .
His first exhibition took place at the "Salon des Artistes français" in 1848 , with a wax sculpture representing "A Terrier holding a hare".
