George Stubbs / A Zebra (1763) – Hand-Painted Oil Reproduction by Dafen Village Studio

Painted in 1763, A Zebra is one of George Stubbs’ most celebrated animal portraits. The subject—a female zebra presented to Queen Charlotte (wife of King George III) after being brought to England from the Cape of Good Hope—was an object of immense scientific curiosity and public fascination. Stubbs depicted the animal against a moody, romanticized English forest backdrop, combining groundbreaking anatomical realism with a gentle, noble presence. Preserved in the renowned collection of the Yale Center for British Art, this work stands as a landmark synthesis of natural history and fine art.
