Lion Devouring a Doe (Primary Title)
Antoine-Louis Barye, French, 1796 - 1875 (Artist)
This cast was supervised by Barye himself and produced in his atelier (artist’s workshop). Its level of detail and rich patina thus form a touchstone for judging the quality of casts from this period and later.
Stamped center front and rear right: "BARYE"
Incised, rear left of base: "BARYE 1"
Gift of Mrs. Nelson L. St. Clair, Jr. in memory of her father, Walter T. Rilee
