1849
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Studies of Animals (verso) is a 1849 by Antoine-Louis Barye, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a study of animals, with a deer on the left side and a horse's head on the right. The deer is shown in profile, facing right, while the horse's head is facing left. The background is a light color, with some faint lines and shapes visible. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the focus on the animals themselves. The artist's use of line and shape creates a sense of movement and energy, despite the static nature of the subjects. The deer's antlers and the horse's mane are particularly well-rendered, giving a sense of texture and depth to the painting.

Antoine-Louis Barye was a Romantic French sculptor most famous for his work as an animalier, a sculptor of animals. His son and student was the sculptor Alfred Barye.
