Related literature: - Jean-Marc BAUQUIER, Armand Petersen, Animal Sculptor. Complete Works 2024, Booksfactory, 2024, model listed under no. 68, pp. 212–213; our copy is referenced there; - Liliane COLAS, *Petersen: Animal Sculptor*, Bry-sur-Marne, M. Chelbi, 2004, cat. no. 68, p. 152. After a brief stay in Paris in 1914, Armand Petersen joined the studio of sculptor Bêla Markup in Budapest. In addition to learning modeling techniques, he may have received there the most important lesson for his future work: the discovery of animal sculpture and the observation of live models at the Hungarian capital’s zoo. He would never cease to refine his work, always seeking elegance and purity of line. Ornamentation was set aside to render with ever-greater force anatomical accuracy as well as the beauty of movement and posture.
