A charging bull, apprx 10-1/4" x 3-3/4" x 7", mounted to a black marble base. Signed "Barye" and "F. Barbedienne Fondeur".
Barye produced no new works after 1869 and following his death in 1875 his plasters and models were purchased by Ferdinand Barbedienne, the famous founder whose earlier casts of Barye's works were so meticulously done. Barbedienne continued casting most of Barye's models until after the turn of the century. All of these later, posthumous casts are marked "F. Barbedienne Fondeur" and are done with extreme attention to detail.
