Catalogue Note
"Dans un paysage désertique et rocailleux, la lionne, les deux pattes sur le corps de la gazelle terrassée et désarticulée, la dévore. Le soleil tombe d'aplomb, il n'y a presque aucune ombre ; l'impression de chaleur torride est admirablement et très sobrement rendue" in Barye, Edith Mannoni, Les Editions de l'Amateur, 1996.
