"PORTRAIT OF THE LEOPARD" by LeRoy Neiman is a Limited Edition Serigraph on Paper. Produced in 1997, Portrait of the Leopard's presented as a welcome new addition to Neiman's fabulously successful series of African animal prints. Ancients proclaimed leopards to be animals of the moon, while lions were animals of the sun. LeRoy Neiman calls leopards strictly upper class, the most elegant of the larger felines. Graceful nocturnal stalkers, the great spotted cats are just as imperial as lions in bearing, but solitary rather than social. Calculating, patient and persistent, they spend much of their time up in trees, blending in with leaves and shadows. This serigraph is an intimate portrait of the leopard in its favored setting. As in the wild, the viewer must take care not to lose sight of the well-camouflaged predator. Green eyes, attentive and intelligent, peer out from behind spots and flora of gold, orange, red and lilac. The colors are offset by snowy whites and long, luxurious whiskers. Proud and noble, Portrait of the Leopard will be a treasured member of every collector's menagerie of Neiman animal works. Elegantly framed in a Gold Wood Moulding with linen mat and matching gold filet. Ready to hang and enjoy for a lifetime! Artwork and Frame in mint condition! Image: 24.5 x 29.5. Framed: 38.5 x 43.5. Hand signed and numbered by artist. A gallery COA is included with the artwork. Framed Gallery Retail; $18,000.00
