Five sketches of wildand domestic animals from life; a meagre survival from the in-numerable mass of drawings Barye made before undertakingfigures and groups. Each sketch carries the Barye stamp in red. A ANTOINE LOUS BARYE STAG WALKING Water-Color Like his friend, the romantic painter Delacroix, the sculptorBarye frequented such parks near Paris as might serve for astudy of animals in a state of freedom. He drew animals andbirds in charcoal and water-color : he painted in oils, and owingto his simple and straightforward nature it turned out that hispictures, with or without animal life, became valuable toamateurs. This is one of his water-colors, made without anyintention to sell. When in later years demand arose for hispictures Barye usually signed them, as in this case. Signed at the lower left. Barye. Height. 5% inches; length. 8^4 inches.
