About this sheet

Dorcas Gazelle – Antique Desert Antelope Chromolithograph, 1894

DESCRIPTION
This dynamic chromolithograph portrays a group of Dorcas gazelles in a rocky desert landscape, captured mid-movement and alert. The composition emphasizes agility and group interaction, rendered with precision and warmth.

Published in The Royal Natural History in 1894, the plate is attributed to Wilhelm Kuhnert, whose animal paintings were widely regarded as the finest of their time.

The restrained desert palette and open background make this plate particularly appealing for modern interiors seeking subtle color and movement.

Condition report
Good antique condition with even toning and minor age marks to margins.

Framing tips
Works beautifully in light wood or sand-toned frames with a clean white mat.
