Zebra

Story

A zebra stands sideways in a clearing, its body shown in full profile against a backdrop of leafy trees rendered in soft greens and earthy browns. The animal's striped coat stands out sharply against the quiet woodland setting around it. This oil painting was created in 1763 and is held at the Yale Center for British Art. The artist, George Stubbs, is known for his painting Whistlejacket. Looking closely, the contrast between the zebra's bold black and white markings and the muted, naturalistic tones of the surrounding path and foliage gives the animal a striking presence within an otherwise calm and shadowed woodland scene.
