Provenance: Private collection, Arizona Anna Hyatt Huntington was the daughter of a paleontologist and illustrator, which makes sense that she became one of America’s most respected animal sculptors—and at a time when women artists were not treated as equals with male artists. Yawning Tiger, one of her most popular bronzes, was originally modeled in 1917. Casts run high into the 200s; this edition is cast number 43, an exceptionally low number for the subject. “Mrs. Huntington’s predilection for the sculpture of animals is happily exemplified by her Yawning Tiger, in which every muscle and tendon takes part in the magnificent stretch, from curved tail to extended paw,” the foundry notes in a 1928 publication. “The technique is notably simple in line and the composition of the figure is in itself a study in strength.”
