Stereo daguerreotype depicting a dramatic Animalier sculpture, likely a bronze or plaster exhibition model from the mid-19th century. The composition centers on a majestic stag rearing against a tree as it fends off a coordinated attack from a pack of hunting dogs, while a cow and calf cower below the scene. Executed with remarkable realism and anatomical detail, the sculpture appears to be in the Romantic tradition of Antoine-Louis Barye or Pierre-Jules Mêne, whose influence was widely seen at international expositions during the era.

Captured in crisp relief by an early stereo photographer, the image accentuates the muscular tension and narrative intensity of the composition. The plate is housed in its original double-opening case with arched gilt borders and leather backing. A rare example of fine art sculpture documented in the daguerreian era, offering both aesthetic and historical appeal.
