EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century drawing by Dutch artist Aert Schouman (1710-1792), titled "Spotted Hyena," showcases the intricate details and lifelike qualities of this powerful predator. Created between 1767 and 1769, this full-length portrait of a Spotted Hyena (Crocuta crocuta) is a testament to Schouman's mastery of chalk and watercolor techniques. The hyena stands with its profile facing forward, its massive head turned slightly to the side, revealing its distinctive spotted coat and expressive, almost human-like features. Its long, curved snout and powerful jaws are on full display, as is its bushy tail, which is wrapped around its body in a protective manner. The hyena's expression is one of curiosity and perhaps amusement, with its lips curled back in what appears to be a grin or a laugh. An inset drawing of a chain adds an intriguing element to the piece, suggesting that this hyena may have been a captive animal. Schouman's attention to detail is evident in the textures of the hyena's coat, the creases of its skin, and the intricate patterns of its spots. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the drawing, making the hyena appear almost three-dimensional. This beautiful work of art is a reminder of the rich heritage of European animal art from the Baroque era. It can be found in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
