The animal sculptor Hippolyte Heizler (1828-1871) studied under Antoine-Louis Barye. He worked on various monumental projects in Paris including the Louvre and the Opera. He was commissioned by Sultan Abdulaziz for a sculpture of a Royal Tiger, now in the Palace Beylerbeyi, Instanbul, and in 1867 modelled a group of dogs as a diplomatic present for the Czar of Russia.

A single by Heizler was sold Bonham's London 10 July 2014, lot 94.
