About the piece

Painted in 1903 by Wilhelm Kuhnert, a master of European wildlife art, this oil on canvas captures the quiet dignity of a waterbuck in its natural habitat. The composition balances the textured realism of the animal's coat with a sophisticated, earthy palette of ochre and soft blue, reflecting Kuhnert's renowned ability to combine naturalist accuracy with painterly atmosphere.
