Description
This artwork is titled "Zebra" by George Stubbs, painted in 1763. At the center stands a solitary zebra, poised gracefully within a luminous forest clearing. The animal's distinctive black-and-white stripes contrast dramatically with the rich greens, golds, and browns of the wooded backdrop. Stubbs, famed for his anatomical precision, renders the zebra with lifelike clarity and reverence, presenting it as both exotic and majestic. The forest scene, though likely imagined, adds a theatrical stillness to the composition. This fine art reproduction is based on a high-resolution photograph of the original, preserving every detail of brushwork and tone. A perfect choice for admirers of natural history, 18th-century British art, and wildlife in classical portraiture.
