EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Dorking Hen Body, Lateral View, as depicted in George Stubbs' groundbreaking work "A Comparative Anatomical Exposition of the Structure of the Human Body with that of a Tiger and a Common Fowl" from 1795-1806. The intricate graphite drawing on thin wove paper measures 26.7x31.8 cm and is housed in the esteemed Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. Stubbs, renowned for his meticulous attention to detail, presents us with an extraordinary scientific illustration that merges artistry and biology seamlessly. This series delves into comparative anatomy by juxtaposing human, feline, and avian structures side by side. In this particular image, we are presented with a lateral view of a headless Dorking Hen body meticulously labeled to highlight its various anatomical features. The precision exhibited in this drawing not only serves as an invaluable resource for veterinary medicine but also offers insights into biological proportion and form. Dating back to the late 18th century, this masterpiece stands as a testament to Stubbs' genius as both an artist and anatomist. Its historical significance cannot be overstated; it represents one man's quest to unravel nature's mysteries through artful observation. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art heritage, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece without any commercial constraints or limitations on its use.
