Born in 1875 and died in 1951, Louis-Albert Carvin is a French animal sculptor of great renown.
A pupil of the famous masters Emmanuel Frémiet and Georges Gardet, he specialized very early in representations of animals (hunting dogs, big cats, horses and birds).
A member of the Société des Artistes Français, he regularly exhibited his creations at the Official Salons from the late 19th century until the mid-20th century.
In the Art Deco era, he triumphed with the public thanks to his sculptures that combine the animal’s anatomical precision with the modern geometricization of decorative lines.
