About the sculpture
In 1893, Edward Kemeys sculpted several pieces for the World’s Columbian Exposition, including the two lions that flank the entrance to the Art Institute of Chicago. This piece may have been a study for those colossal creatures. Kemeys captured the lion’s proud stance and defiant stare. The stillness and alert pose create the sense that the animal has found its prey.
