More about this artwork

Discover a striking piece from the 19th century by the celebrated French artist Antoine-Louis Barye, titled "Tête de tigre". This minimalist sketch, crafted with delicate line work, captures the essence of a tiger's head with remarkable sensitivity and attention to detail. The artwork highlights Barye's mastery in portraying animals, focusing on the gentle contours and subtle expressions of the tiger, bringing an almost lifelike presence on paper.Barye, renowned for his animal sculptures, brings the same keen observation and dynamic expression to his drawings. The simplicity of the medium, using what appears to be pencil on a modestly toned paper, emphasizes the purity and elegance of the subject. The tiger's gaze, slightly turned, suggests a moment of calm introspection. Noteworthy is the artist's subtle signature at the bottom left, confirming the authenticity and personal touch of the work.This piece not only showcases Barye's skill as a draughtsman but also offers a glimpse into his artistic process, presenting a form that possibly served as a preliminary study for a sculpture. "Tête de tigre" stands as a testament to Barye's enduring fascination with the natural world and his ability to capture the spirit of the wild through the tip of his pencil.
