EUGENE DELACROIX. Crouching Tiger

EUGENE DELACROIX. Crouching Tiger. Artist: Eugène Delacroix (French, Charenton-Saint-Maurice 1798-1863 Paris). Dimensions: Overall: 5 3/16 x 7 3/8 in. (13.1 x 18.7 cm). Date: 1839.
Delacroix first became attracted to wild cats several years before his 1832 trip to Morocco. Like Géricault, he studied animals in the Jardin des Plantes, Paris, and in 1828 he visited the menageries at Saint-Cloud with the sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye, who evidently introduced him to the practice of drawing the zoo's cadavers. Because the lions and tigers in his sights were generally lethargic (or dead), Delacroix paid close attention to the postures of house and street cats.
