EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing sight - a group of whelps bred between a lion and a tigress, known as liger cubs. Painted by the talented Jacques-Laurent Agasse in 1824, when these majestic creatures were merely six months old, the artwork captures their youthful energy and beauty. The scene unfolds within the confines of a cage at Windsor's great park in the United Kingdom. Beyond the bars, we catch glimpses of their proud parents. The artist has inscribed these details in bold black paint on the upper left corner, marking this extraordinary event that occurred in October 1824. As we observe this remarkable hybridity between lions and tigers, our eyes are drawn to an unexpected addition to the composition - a terrier playfully engaging with these magnificent creatures. This inclusion adds an element of surprise and curiosity to an already fascinating image. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork also serves as a testament to scientific exploration and animal husbandry during that era. It offers us insight into how humans sought to understand and manipulate nature through selective breeding. Overall, this print from Liszt Collection transports us back in time to witness an extraordinary moment where nature's boundaries were pushed aside momentarily, giving birth to these enchanting liger cubs.
