Jaguar

Antoine-Louis Barye

Cleveland Museum of Art

Bronze sculpture of a large cat, likely a jaguar, lying down. The cat's body is positioned with its front legs stretched out in front and back legs extended behind. The cat's head is lowered, with its face almost touching the ground. The cat's fur is depicted through detailed texture, with visible wrinkles on its body. The sculpture has a dark green patina. The base of the sculpture is oval-shaped and flat. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
