About this work

You see two small paintings side by side. On the left, two cub leopards play in tall grass. On the right, two brown bears stand on hind legs near a log. These might be life studies from a traveling menagerie. The artist often drew animals from life rather than from memory. Look up Viechter, Johann Christoph if you want to see more of his animal scenes.

Artist

Johann Christoph Viechter

Viechter’s playful double paintings feel like a 17th-century Instagram feed—two tiny, mischievous creatures locked in the same frame but doing their own thing.
