Zebra in the style of George Stubbs

Inspired by the groundbreaking work of George Stubbs (1724–1806), this striking zebra portrait captures the wonder and scientific curiosity that defined the Enlightenment era's encounter with exotic wildlife.

Stubbs' fascination with animal anatomy extended beyond British livestock to the extraordinary creatures arriving from distant lands. His zebra paintings—most famously commissioned after a live specimen reached England in the 1760s—combined meticulous observation with artistic brilliance, documenting these rare animals with the same anatomical precision he brought to his equine masterworks.

This piece honors that spirit of discovery: rendered with careful attention to the zebra's distinctive striping, muscular form, and alert presence, it reflects Stubbs' ability to balance scientific documentation with sublime artistry. Set against a naturalistic backdrop, the composition evokes the era's fascination with the natural world and the exotic.
