Alfred "Alf" Barye (French pronunciation: [alf(ʁɛd) baʁi]; 21 January 1839 – 1882), usually known as Alfred Barye "Le Fils" (i.e. "Alfred Barye Jr."), was a French sculptor, of the Belle Époque, pupil of his father the artist Antoine-Louis Barye. In cooperation with Émile-Coriolan Guillemin, Barye did the artwork for "The Arab Warrior Knight on Horseback". Included in Barye's oeuvre were animalier bronzes as well as Oriental subjects. At his father's request, he signed his work as "fils" to differentiate his work from his father's.[1]
