About the piece
Painted in 1767 by Danish artist Jens Juel, this oil on canvas depicts a striped hyena from the royal menagerie at Frederiksberg Castle. The work is a masterclass in 18th-century naturalism, rendering the texture of the animal's coarse fur and its alert posture against a quiet, desolate landscape that enhances its singular presence.
