German artist Friedrich Wilhelm Kuhnert was a painter and illustrator best known for his realistic renderings of African animal life and the safari in German Southwest Africa (modern-day Namibia). Kuhnert here has rendered the king of the jungle in near-photographic realism, with the power and potential terror of the cat somehow communicated in his art as well.
