EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of a Striped hyena, also known as Hyaena hyaena or Naked hyaena of the desert (Hyaena vulgaris). The image, captured by renowned artist William Home Lizars (1788-1859), is a handcoloured steel engraving that truly brings this magnificent creature to life. The intricate details in this artwork highlight the unique features of the Striped hyena. Its distinctive striped coat and powerful build are beautifully depicted, showcasing its strength and resilience in the harsh desert environment. Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith's drawing serves as the inspiration for this masterpiece, which was later included in Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Mammalia. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are reminded of nature's diversity and complexity. The skull of the hyena subtly reminds us of its place within the animal kingdom - a fascinating member of the canine family with its own distinct characteristics. This print not only captures our attention but also sparks curiosity about these remarkable creatures. It invites us to delve deeper into zoology and explore more about their behavior, habitat, and role within their ecosystem. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece from Fine Art Finder that allows us to appreciate both artistry and science through one captivating image.
