BARYE AT THE AGE OF THIRTY-FIVE.Engraved by G. Kruell, from a water-color portrait in the Walters Collection. ANTOINE LOUIS BARYE. 189 Saturdays he used regularly to visit the horse-market; on Sun-days he would often go to study animal life at the dog-market,and he was even a frequent spectator of the ignoble dog-fightswhich were then to be seen in the outskirts of Paris. A ruleand a sketch-book were his inseparable companions in these ex-cursions, and he would frequently stop in the street to measurea horse or to note a movement. Like Delacroix, consideringjustly that the tiger is but a sublime development of the cat, heused to study the wild animal in its reduced domestic counter-part. When Barye had his studio in the Rue de Boulogne,about 1846, one of the apprentices had reared a very fine cat tolive in the workshop with the chasers and mounters, and oftenof an afternoon Barye would come in, sit down on a stool, andentice the cat to his knees.
