EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Study of a Fowl, Lateral View, with skin and underlying fascial layers removed" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of comparative anatomy during the late 18th century. Created by George Stubbs between 1795 and 1806, this graphite drawing on heavy wove paper showcases his meticulous attention to detail and scientific curiosity. The artwork is part of Stubbs' larger project called "A Comparative Anatomical Exposition of the Structure of the Human Body with that of a Tiger and a Common Fowl". This ambitious undertaking aimed to explore the similarities and differences in anatomical structure between humans, tigers, and fowls. By removing the skin and underlying fascial layers from this particular fowl specimen, Stubbs reveals its internal anatomy in intricate detail. Measuring at 54x40.3 cm, this print is housed in the Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the United States. It represents an important contribution to both art and science during its time. With its delicate lines and precise rendering, it exemplifies Stubbs' mastery as an artist-anatomist. This work not only serves as a testament to Stubbs' skill but also highlights the intersection between art and biology. It reminds us that even centuries ago, artists played an essential role in advancing our understanding of nature through their keen observation skills.
