Leopard Study explores the graceful form and distinctive patterning of one of Africa’s most striking big cats. The drawing combines confident graphite linework with subtle tonal shading to suggest the animal’s musculature and characteristic spotted coat.
The sweeping curve of the tail adds a sense of movement and rhythm to the composition, giving the drawing a lively and expressive quality.
