Arthur Waagen (1833-1898)
Arthur Waagen was a German sculptor and animalier, a member of the 19th-century movement specializing in the realistic portrayal of animals. After settling in Paris, he exhibited at the Salons between 1861 and 1887, conceiving his career-defining 'Kabyle au retour de la chasse' around 1870.
