"'panther And Caiman' After Barye, Patinated Bronze And Portoro Marble – France, 19th Century"
A beautifully crafted bronze depicting a panther in the heat of battle, its teeth sinking into a struggling caiman. The composition captures all the dramatic tension and realism characteristic of the work of Antoine-Louis Barye, the celebrated French sculptor and undisputed master of animal art in the 19th century.
The piece rests on a Portoro marble base, its light veins highlighting the bronze's elegance.
A typical example of the 19th-century French animal sculpture tradition, it is ideal for adding to a collection, study, or the library of a discerning collector.
