Title
Python Crushing a Gnu
Description
English: Barye has returned to a theme that he first explored in 1834-1839, when he modeled this subject as one of four animal combats that stood at the foot of the "Tiger Hunt" (Walters 27.176) in the duke of Orléans's table centerpiece. In this unusually large watercolor, the setting is the Forest of Fontainebleau during daylight.
