EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Dorking Hen Skeleton, captured in a lateral view. The image is derived from George Stubbs' renowned work titled "A Comparative Anatomical Exposition of the Structure of the Human Body with that of a Tiger and a Common Fowl" created between 1795-1806. In this detailed pen and ink drawing, Stubbs masterfully portrays the skeletal structure of the hen with precision and accuracy. The delicate lines and shading bring to life every bone, joint, and curve, highlighting its biological intricacies. The composition not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also holds immense scientific value. It finds its place within veterinary medicine, biology, and anatomy studies due to its contribution to understanding avian anatomy during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Measuring at approximately 26.7x31.8 cm, this print allows viewers to delve into the world of comparative anatomy by juxtaposing human body structures with those found in animals like tigers or common fowls. Housed within Yale Center for British Art's prestigious Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, this artwork stands as a testament to Stubbs' talent as well as his dedication to exploring science through artistry. Its presence reminds us of how art can bridge disciplines and provide invaluable insights into our natural world.
