Lioness and Cubs
Antoine-Louis Barye French
Not on view
Barye's skills as a lithographer are demonstrated in this freely drawn family group. The inert form of the sleeping lioness is contrasted with the wide-eyed stares of her wary cubs. Studies of lions, which the artist made in the Zoological Gardens in Paris, underpin the careful foreshortening of the recumbent adult.
