Catalogue Note
Alfred Jacquemart (1824-1896) was one of the leading contributors to the French Animalier School of the 19th century. He produced numerous small groups of animals in bronze, but unlike many of his contemporaries, he also produced works in cast-iron which were founded by both the Barbezat and later the Val d'Osne foundries. A similar pair is illustrated in the 1857 catalogue produced by the Barbazat Iron Foundry
