With the rise of a newly affluent middle class in Paris during the 19th and early 20th century, many artists
hungry to fill the need for folks anxious to show status through artwork, created smaller, more portable and decorative sculpture .
Signed in two places on the base: BARYE, Henry Bonnard, Bronze Foundry Co, NY
The Bonnard foundry opened a location in Mt Vernon @ 1906 which closed in 1926.
Antoine-Louis Barye was considered one of the most famous sculptors of the nineteenth century. His sculpture, specializing in animals are highly regarded and sought after. They are technically competent and based directly from nature as he spent much of his time observing and working at the Jardin de Plantes in Paris.
Many museums, private collections, and institutions house his works of art, including the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of art.
Several books have been written referencing animal sculpture and well over a dozen Barye books were written solely about the artist as the foremost and most renown sculptor of this French "animalier" movement.
Barye studied at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts Paris, and eventually became celebrated for his winning works in the Paris Salon. In 1855 and again in 1867 late in his life, he was awarded the Grand Medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris for his works.
This statue of a wolf can be placed in a study, office, country home, chalet, hunting lodge, Adirondack style, Modern home.

- French Bronze Rare Sculpture of a Panther Bunting Signed André Vincent BecquerelBy André Vincent BecquerelLocated in New York City, NYA rare and fabulous French Art Deco large bronze signed sculpture of a bunting panther by Andre Vincent Becquerel, French, 1893-1981 This lovely cast, in a warm dark brown patina with green undertones is sculpted with highly stylized anatomical details. The sculpture rests on self base. Becquerel's favorite subject matter was cats. He often captured them in a natural setting, stretching, stalking, clawing at a tree stump or walking in tandem. The model offered here with the panther bunting/rubbing against a stump of a tree is a rare version. This innate feline behavior is seen as a sign of affection, or of a transfer of their scent to claim territory or marking you as a friend. Becquerel was born in northern France. He attended the École des Beaux-arts in Paris and studied in the ateliers of Hector Lemaître and Prosper Lecourtier, the Animalier sculptor. He also worked with Charles Valton, who had studied under both Barye and Fremiet, two other renown animalier sculptors. He began exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1914 and continued to do so for the rest of his career. In 1944 Becquerel was awarded a bronze medal by The ‘Artistes Français’ and a gold medal in 1945. In 1952 he won the Prix de l’Yser, which made him hors concours and thus above the future competition process.
