About Mathilde Thomas-Soyer

  • Biography

    Mathilde Thomas-Soyer was one of the few professional female sculptors working in Paris in the late 19th century. Like Rosa Bonheur, she specialised in Animalier subjects.

    She studied under the well-known sculptors Auguste Cain, himself an Animalier sculptor, and Henri Chapu.

    In 1879, she exhibited at the Salon with a group entitled Vache terrassant un loup qui vient d'égorger son veau, which depicted a cow slaying a wolf that has just killed her calf.

    The Thiebaut Freres foundry cast a number of her plaster maquettes in bronze.
