Very fine condition presented in a modern black mat. Auguste Delierre 1829-1891 is referenced as follows in Bénézit dictionary of painters sculptors draughtsmen and engravers: ""history painter genre scenes animated landscapes still lifes illustrator. Student of Eugène Ciceri he participated in the Paris Salon between 1852 and 1889. His compositions of landscapes animated with hunting dogs show the influence of works by Desportes and Oudry which he copied for a long time. He also shows a predilection for still lifes. He also illustrated La Fontaine's Fables."" Alain-Marie Bassy in his book Les Fables de La Fontaine quatre siècles d'illustration analyzes his style for the representation of fables: ""If he seeks the same angle of view on the animal as Gustave Doré he dismisses any sense of terror. The bird wounded by an arrow is no longer a large migratory bird but the deliciously colored quail of still lifes."" .Before the animals among which we live Delierre's eye is as cold as that of an entomologist. The art of the fable becomes in his work the finest example of pictorial naturalism."" A deluxe edition in two volumes: Fables de La Fontaine. Edition illustrated with 75 etched plates by A. Delierre Paris Quantin 1883 is catalogued at the Bibliothèque Nationale. The etchings of the fables are before letters and enclosed in pretty Louis XVI frames."" A. Quantin unknown‎
