Catalogue Note
The present model in keeping with Fremiet's fascination for the confrontation between man and wildlife is closely related to the central figure that can be seen the painting: Le Charmeur de Serpent by Jean-Léon Gérome in the Sterling and Francine Clarke Arts Institute, Williamstown, MA.
