Moigniez’s father, a renowned gilder who owned a foundry, played a pivotal role in his sculptural career, allowing him to bypass the additional costs of casting his works. This significantly propelled his career forward, leading to the exhibition of over thirty artworks at the Salon between 1855 and 1892.

Truly, this outstanding piece by Jules Moigniez is more than just a sculpture; it's a richly detailed snapshot of wildlife in its rawest form, a priceless token of art history, and an awe-inspiring tribute to the undeniable allure of the wild.
