Antoine-Louis Barye

What will be the proper allegory for my race?
Will the race course and I be as evenly matched as these two bears wrestling?
Will I be in trouble, like the horse attacked by a tiger? Or will I be the tiger? (Is that a horse or a unicorn?)

(I would tell you about all the lovely paintings I saw, but you would mock me.)

The second sulpture is a sculpture of a horse and a human, no unicorn. I think Barye never made unicons, only real animals. Greetings, Marie
