  This sculpture looks very similar to "Tigre portant un paon
  à ses petits" by Auguste Nicolas Cain. also called "Tigresse portant un paon à ses petits." There's a copy in Newport, RI. and another in Paris, France at Les Tuileries
  
  But perhaps the most likely one is in Central Park. See www.nycgovparks.org/parks/central-park/monuments/1547
  "Cast at the F. Bardienne Foundry in Paris, Tigress and Cubs was presented in 1867 to the Board of Commissioners of Central Park by twelve New York citizens, including artist and inventor Samuel F. B. Morse (1791–1872). The piece was placed in a wooded area on a rock outcropping near the lake. In 1934, it was relocated to the Central Park Zoo, and after the 1988 renovation of the zoo, it took its current position in a protected setting between the Intelligence Garden and the Tropical Zone."

  The location near the lake is marked by 23 in this 1871 map of Central Park
  Here's a crop with the location (number 23) at left center.

  Wow! Thanks for outlining what looks like a good theory. We'll make a note in our records that the sculpture may be located in Central Park.

  Did you hear about the Kerry genius? He was a man out standing in his own field.

• derangedlemur said:

  That's Thomas Packenham's grandad, is it?

  5 September 1928 was a Wednesday ...
  
  "Edward Arthur Henry Pakenham, 6th Earl of Longford (29 December 1902 – 4 February 1961) was an Irish peer, politician, and littérateur. Also known as Eamon de Longphort, he was a member of the fifth Seanad Éireann, the upper house of the Irish Parliament, in the 1940s. ... "
  From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Pakenham,_6th_Earl_of_Longford
  
  So he is 25 here.

• derangedlemur said:

  He owned the biggest oak in the country for years. It got struck by lightning since, so it's a bit less big now.

• Suck Diesel said:

  The 8th Earl, Thomas, is still alive and a most charming man. His book on trees is on the shelves in Easons.
