"Large Panther Devouring A Hare XIX In Plaster Of Barye"
Superb and rare very large plaster sculpture after Antoine Louis BARYE (1796-1875), famous animal sculptor of the 19th century. This sculpture represents a lying panther devouring a hare. It is presented on a base forming the rock, the sculptor highlights the forms of the panther, generous and muscular. All the strength of this work lies in the quality of its patina, of great realism, the bronze patina of different aspects whether for the base, the hare or the panther. The details of this sculpture are also very precise, the mouth of the panther is impressive. Solid plaster sculpture, signed on the base, in excellent condition. Rare in its dimensions and very decorative.
