A striking gelatin silver print by Peter Beard that captures the raw power and beauty of a record-class leopard, enriched with the artist's signature embellishments of ink, paint, and affixed photographic elements. Beard's obsessive layering of materials — including a matchbox and additional prints — transforms the image into a tactile, almost diary-like artifact that blurs the line between documentation and personal narrative. The work reflects Beard's lifelong engagement with African wildlife and his urgent meditation on the fragility of the natural world.
