The Panther 

"The Panther" is a wood engraving by Gustave Doré, renowned for his dramatic and detailed illustrations. This black and white artwork depicts a solitary panther lying on a rocky, barren landscape with a figure in the distance. The stark contrast of light and shadow accentuates the animal's powerful presence and the desolate environment, evoking a sense of isolation and mystery. This work exemplifies Doré's ability to capture the essence of animal life with striking realism and symbolic weight.
