About the piece

Painted in 1763 by the renowned British artist George Stubbs, this work is one of the earliest and most famous depictions of a zebra in Western art. Stubbs, celebrated for his anatomical precision and master of equine subjects, captures the animal's graphic stripes with remarkable detail, setting the exotic subject within a traditional, atmospheric English woodland.
