Footnotes

Born in the Baltic port of Memel, East Prussia (now Klaipeda, Lithuania), Max Arthur Waagen was one of number of Germanic artists of Baltic extraction who left their homes to pursue careers abroad.
Moving to Paris sometime in the late 1850's or early 1860's, Waagen appears to made his permanent home in Paris as his works were mostly cast there and usually titled in French.
The Livrets de Salon show that he exhibited between 1861 and 1887 with his studios documented as being located at Cours-de-Vincennes, 40 and later avenue Chevalier, 11.

The present lot depicting a Berber mountain tribesman returning to his village with his dogs and a rescued lamb holding aloft the hide of the flock's predator is typical of Waagen's romantic vision of the Orientalist world.
