Alfred Barye (1839–1882) Bronze “seated Lion”
An elegant bronze with a green patina depicting a lion seated in a noble and majestic pose. The animal’s powerful form, the delicate rendering of the mane, and the beast’s calm expression attest to the talent of Alfred Barye (1839–1882), a French animal sculptor and son of the famous Antoine-Louis Barye. Alfred Barye’s works are prized for their realism and the quality of their execution.
The sculpture is signed “ALF BARYE” in intaglio on the pedestal. It features a beautiful antique patina with shades of brown and green, giving it a lovely decorative appearance. A work of harmonious proportions, ideal for a cabinet of curiosities, an office, or a collection of animal bronzes.
