EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black and white pencil drawing, titled "Lioness" by Sir Edwin Henry Landseer (1802-1873), showcases the British artist's unparalleled ability to capture the raw power and majesty of the natural world. Created in the nineteenth century, this graphite on cream wove paper drawing is a testament to Landseer's mastery of the medium, as he expertly renders the intricate textures and forms of the lioness's muscular body and expressive face. The lioness, with her piercing gaze and regal posture, exudes a sense of strength and grace. Seated in profile, she appears to be in a contemplative state, her muscles taut and ready for action. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way he portrays the lioness's fur, which is rendered in such a way as to create a sense of depth and volume. Landseer, a renowned animal painter of his time, was known for his lifelike and emotive depictions of wildlife. This drawing, with its striking contrasts of light and shadow, is no exception. It is a true masterpiece of Victorian art and a must-see for any art enthusiast or animal lover. This rare and beautiful work of art is part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the oldest and most respected art museums in the United States. The museum, which was founded in 1879, is home to an extensive collection of art from all time periods and cultures. The "Lioness" drawing is just one of the many treasures that can be found in the museum's Prints and Drawings department.
