Painted in 1777, George Stubbs's *Sleeping Leopard* showcases the artist's anatomical precision and skill in animal portraiture. The leopard's form is rendered with careful attention to detail, capturing its texture and musculature.
George Stubbs, an 18th-century British painter, is celebrated for his anatomical accuracy and naturalistic depictions of animals, particularly horses. His meticulous approach involved detailed anatomical studies, including dissections, to achieve a scientific understanding of animal form. This dedication is evident in his celebrated publication, *The Anatomy of the Horse* (1766). Stubbs's work bridged the gap between scientific illustration and fine art, appealing to both aristocratic patrons and the scientific community. He also experimented with printmaking and enamel painting. *Sleeping Leopard*, painted in 1777, exemplifies Stubbs's skill in animal portraiture. The composition, presented in an oval format, features a leopard curled up in repose. The animal's coat, rendered in shades of tan and brown with dark spots, contrasts with the dark background. The leopard rests on a rocky surface, with foliage adding a touch of naturalism to the scene. The painting captures the animal's form with precision, showcasing Stubbs's anatomical knowledge and his ability to convey the texture and musculature of the leopard.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Spent eighteen months dissecting horses in a farmhouse, published the definitive book on equine anatomy, and painted Whistlejacket life-size against nothing.
