    Notes:
  • Maurice Gaston-Elie Joseph Prost (1894-1967) suit les cours des sculpteurs Léopold Morice et Charles Valton, qui influencera sa carrière de sculpteur animalier. A partir de 1922 il expose dans divers Salons et reçoit de nombreuses distinctions : médaille d'honneur en 1922, de bronze en 1929, d'argent en 1936, d'or en 1963 et d'honneur en 1966 ainsi que la légion d'honneur en 1957. Ses œuvres sont reproduites et vendues un peu partout avec un grand succès. En 1931, il présente sa panthère noir en bronze en grandeur nature à l'exposition coloniale. Elle est acquise par le Conseil d'Etat. Le modèle de "la panthère noire en marche" est exposé pour la première fois en 1928 au Salon des artistes indépendants.
