Tiger Bringing a Peacock to Her Litter

The statue depicts a tigress carrying a peacock to her cubs, displaying a natural scene in dimensions of 1.9 meters height and 2.54 meters width.

Auguste Cain created this work in 1873, which was placed in the Grand Carre of Tuileries Garden in 1884 following its exhibition at the Paris Salon.

This sculpture represents the 19th-century animalier art movement, where artists conducted detailed studies of animal anatomy at the Jardin des Plantes.

The Tuileries Garden welcomes visitors from 7 AM to 11 PM during summer months, with facilities for wheelchair access throughout the grounds.

Master founder Ferdinand Barbedienne participated in creating this sculpture, of which two additional versions can be found in the United States.
