Issu d'une famille de politicien, Henri Marie Joseph Regnouf de Vains (1851-1909) dit Henri de Vains est l’élève du célèbre sculpteur animalier Antoine-Louis Barye (1795-1875). Passionné de hippisme et lui-même cavalier expérimenté, il réalise avec réalisme de grands groupes lui permettant de multiplier les commandes durant toute la période de la Belle Epoque lors de laquelle il fréquente les salons élégants.
