Conbat d'une Pantere et d'un Cheval 1606 - 1689

This etching by Charles Errard le fils, titled "Combat d'une Pantere et d'un Cheval", depicts a panther attacking a horse in a dramatic scene. The panther, with its sharp claws and intense expression, is gripping the horse's neck. The horse is shown in a helpless position, its head turned away from the attack. The artist's use of strong lines and shadows creates a sense of movement and tension. This print, a testament to Errard's skill in capturing the essence of animal combat, exemplifies the 17th-century fascination with natural history.
