"Antoine-louis Barye - Panther Of Tunis"
Sculpture in excellent condition, with a nuanced dark brown patina. Signed Barye on the front left of the base.
The Barbedienne casting (signature on the back right of the base: F. BARBEDIENNE. Fondeur) perfectly captures its beautiful silhouette, its endearing face with its small ears.
Antoine-Louis Barye (1796–1875) was a French sculptor and painter, famous for his animal works with remarkable realism and expressiveness.
He is considered one of the greatest masters of 19th-century animal sculpture.
