Lioness and Cubs. Artist: Antoine-Louis Barye (French, Paris 1796-1875 Paris). Dimensions: Sheet (trimmed): 4 7/8 × 8 1/4 in. (12.4 × 21 cm). Date: possibly 1832.
Barye's skills a a lithgrapher 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.
