[Circus]. Wild animal tamers. Lithograph in black, size 46 x 62 cm (circa 1870). [Circus]. Wild Animal Tamers. Lithograph in black, size 46 x 62 cm (circa 1870). Astonishing scene showing, in a large cage whose bars can be seen in the background, two tamers, a man and a woman in a curious outfit: they look absent, posed like potiches in the midst of a large number of wild animals, lions, panthers, hyenas, bears; two heavy curtains held in place by tiebacks can be seen in the corners. The scene immortalizes - from a sketch by H. Raynal - the menagerie of ferocious animals belonging to Monsieur and Madame Schmidt, sister of Hermann, a German trainer who performed in Paris and was in business around 1865; an echo of this can be found, for example, in an article published in Le Monde illustré, no. 411, February 25, 1865, page 124. The impression one gets from this scene is very strange: there's a sense of expectation, some of the animals look agitated, while the two humans are lost. Time seems to stand still, perhaps they're all about to pounce on each other and devour each other. The scene, obviously interpreted and staged by the artist - there couldn't have been that many animals in the cage - is reminiscent of a travelling circus cage. Modern frame.
