Panter 1856 - 1897

"Panter" is an etching by Henri-Charles Guérard, a French artist known for his animal studies. Created between 1856 and 1897, the artwork depicts the head of a panther in profile, showcasing the artist's detailed and expressive use of line. This small-scale print (113mm x 155mm), now housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the animal's powerful presence through a masterful interplay of light and shadow. Guérard's masterful draftsmanship highlights the panther's musculature and ferocious gaze, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.
