Engraver, b. 1887 - d. 1938

Though first trained as a sculptor, French artist Leon Danchin focused on drawings of canines, which are the most recognized of his artistic contributions. While he continued to sculpt throughout his career, he spent most of his time painting or drawing. In addition to his paintings and sculptures, artist Leon Danchin's collection of life works contains over 100 lithographs and engravings.

Leon Danchin's paintings of country life, hunting, and sporting dogs were inspired by his leisure time.
