Lion walking 1866–1897 Charles Courtry French One of the most accomplished of French nineteenth century etchers, Courtry here devised a fine network of lines, strengthened with drypoint, to reproduce a Bayre watercolor now at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. As an embodiment of male aggression, the roaring male lion stands in opposition to the calm family scene that hangs below. It is interesting that Courtry's technique has produced a more sculptural image than Barye's own Lion walking. After Antoine-Louis Barye (French, Paris 1795–1875 Paris). 1866–1897. Etching and drypoint. Pri
