专家说明

Véronique Fromanger has confirmed the authenticity of this work.

This group is dated in Des Cordes to 1911. In 1955 a cast of this subject featured in an exhibition at the Royal Zoological Society, Antwerp, the context in which, years before, the artist had found the living inspiration for so many of his figures. This major retrospective was instrumental in stimulating the revival of interest in his work.
