EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the raw and primal essence of nature as a Spotted hyena, Crocuta crocuta, feasts on a sheep in the wild. The intensity of the scene is palpable, with the hyena's powerful jaws tearing into its prey while its piercing eyes remain focused on the task at hand.
The intricate details of this copperplate engraving by dell'Acqua, handcoloured by Lazaretti, bring to life the ferocity and determination of both predator and prey. The skillful artistry highlights every sinewy muscle and sharp tooth of the hyena as it devours its meal with savage efficiency.
