Poster with the painting Zebra (1763) by the British artist George Stubbs (1724–1806).
The painting depicts a zebra standing in a peaceful landscape. The animal is depicted with great care in both form and pattern, highlighting its elegance and unique appearance. Stubbs captures the zebra's alert and almost curious posture, while the harmonious surroundings give the subject a sense of stillness and balance.
George Stubbs was a prominent British artist of the 18th century, and is particularly known for his lifelike and anatomically accurate depictions of animals. He studied the animals' bodies in detail, which made his works unusually realistic for their time. The zebra is one of his most famous exotic subjects and clearly demonstrates his ability to combine scientific precision with artistic expression.
