Standing Jaguar

Antoine-Louis Barye

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture portrays a panther standing on a textured base. The panther is depicted in a natural stance with its body elongated and tail curved slightly upwards. Made from bronze, the sculpture has a rich, dark metallic finish that may exhibit varying degrees of patina. The panther is portrayed in realistic proportions, detailed musculature, and lifelike representation, conveying a sense of dynamic stillness. The base appears rough, contributing to the authenticity of the subject, with the artist's signature "BARYE" inscribed on it, indicating the work may be by Antoine-Louis Barye.
