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.
