Est: $15,000 - $20,000
BRITTAN, Charles Edward (British, 1837-1888). Leopard. Pencil, watercolor and gouache on paper on paper. Signed lower right: "C.E. Brittain". 18 1/2" x 28 3/4" sheet, 29 x 39" framed. The eighteenth century saw a burgeoning of interest in exotic animals and menageries were established across Europe. To begin with these were mainly housed as part of royal collections and could be found in the United Provinces at the palaces of the princes of Orange, and in France at Versailles. The expansion of trade and growing exploration of the world resulted in wild animals being captured and returned to Europe as both objects of curiosity and scientific specimens. Artists were frequently employed to paint these prized possessions. In England, natural history painters were primarily interested in botany. Yet, scientists increasingly began to turn their attentions to new and exotic breeds of animal and painters, finding new sources for commissions, followed suit.
