Lion and Tiger

Henri Alfred Marie Jacquemart, better known by his chosen name Alfred Jacquemart (as he signed his works), was a French Sculptor and animalier (an artist specialized in the realistic portrayal of animals). He created many large-scale pieces on public display, such as Rhinoceros and large bronze lions in Paris, Huntsman and dogs in Sydney. This is a high quality and rare 19th C. cast tiger from a "Lion and Tiger" pairing, cast in 1866 at the Barbezat Foundry of Val d'Osne, near Dijon, where most of his pieces were cast by the silversmith Christofle.亨利·阿尔弗雷德·马里·雅克马尔（Henri Alfred Marie Jacquemart），通常以其创作署用名阿尔弗雷德·雅克马尔（Alfred Jacquemart）签署作品，是法国雕塑家，亦是动物写实雕塑艺术家（animalier）——该类创作者专注于动物形象的写实化塑造。他创作了多件公开展出的大型雕塑作品，例如坐落于巴黎的《犀牛》与大型青铜狮雕塑，以及位于悉尼的《猎人与猎犬》。本次数据集收录的是一件19世纪铸造的高品质珍稀老虎雕塑，属于“狮虎组合”系列作品之一，该作品于1866年在第戎附近的奥讷河谷（Val d'Osne）巴尔贝扎铸造厂（Barbezat Foundry）铸造，而他的绝大多数作品均由银匠克里斯托夫勒（Christofle）负责铸造。
