"Cheetah with Two Indian Servants and a Stag" is an oil on canvas painting created by English artist George Stubbs in 1765. The artwork depicts a cheetah being led by two Indian servants in a landscape setting, while a stag stands in the background. Stubbs was a renowned animal painter known for his anatomical accuracy and attention to detail. The painting is a testament to Stubbs's mastery of depicting animal movement and form, and the use of the Indian servants highlights the growing interest in exotic animals and cultures during the 18th century. The work is currently housed in the Manchester Art Gallery.
