Greyhound Retrieving a Hare
(18th and 19th Centuries )
The meticulously observed physique of this greyhound, from his boney back and tail to his sinuous legs and neck, reveals Barye's in-depth knowledge of animal anatomy.
Inscription
Provenance
Provenance (from the French provenir, 'to come from/forth') is the chronology of the ownership, custody, or location of a historical object.
Purchased by William T. Walters, Baltimore, before 1886 (?) [1]; inherited by Henry Walters, Baltimore, 1894; by bequest to Walters Art Museum, 1931.
[1] George A. Lucas agenda for 30 March 1886 states that he had a version of "Levrette rapportant Lievre" cast by Montaignac from "WTWs [William T. Walters] and his models." This could imply that this bronze was in William T. Walters possession by 1886.
