The work expresses elegance and physical agility. Author Antoine Louis Barye (1795-1875), important French sculptor.

Barye was born in Paris in 1795, he is famous for his animal sculptures, sculptures that he would have updated, son of a goldsmith,he enters the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1818 and works as an apprentice in the studio of the sculptor François Joseph Bosio and the painter Jean-Antoine Gros.

With his friend Delacroix, he regularly visits the Menagerie of the Natural History Museum to study and observe animals.

It was in 1831 that Barye made himself known to the general public. Preferring bronze to marble considered too cold,
the artist multiplies the statuettes and small groups of animals that he melts and chisels himself.

Barye dies at the age of 95, leaving behind a vast production of drawings, watercolors and paintings, as well as sculptures and silverware.

His works can be seen in the Louvre and d'Orsay museums.
