White Our Forefathers Limited Edition Framed Print Jane Lee Mccracken

Beautifully reproduced from Jane's intricate black Biro drawing ‘Our Forefathers'. This is the first design of her ‘Amur Leopard' diptych. One of eight designs from her iconic print and fine English china coupe plate collection ‘In Homage to the Last Great Carnivores of Eurasia', this body of work highlights threatened and endangered carnivores across the Eurasian continent. ‘Our Forefathers' contemplates the origins and repercussions of man's fascination with collecting natural exotica from early European exploration to the present day. This is symbolised by a representation of Rembrandt's ‘The Windmill' 1641, as the windmill becomes an exotic folly for three Amur leopards, one of the world's most endangered species. Jane's meticulous drawings take several months to research and make. Sumptuous signed and numbered limited edition archival pigment print, made by one of the very best printmakers in the industry.
