European school (early XX) - Snow leopard

European school (early XX) - Snow leopard. 67.5 x 57.5 cm (without frame) - 79 x 68 cm (with frame). Oil on cardboard, in a wooden frame. The painting depicts a snow leopard lying on a conifer trunk, its head resting on the branch and its gaze turned towards the viewer. The tail hangs down, while the body is rendered with a dense brushstroke that conveys the texture of the spotted coat. The mountain setting, with its snowy slope and the dark foliage of the pine, is built up with broad passages of cold whites and blues that set off the warm tones of the animal. The work belongs to the European animalier tradition of the early decades of the twentieth century, focused on naturalistic observation and on the portrayal of the animal within its habitat.
