Painting Description
"Dorking Hen Body, Lateral View" is a notable illustration from the series "A Comparative Anatomical Exposition of the Structure of the Human Body with that of a Tiger and a Common Fowl," created by the English painter George Stubbs between 1795 and 1806. Stubbs, renowned for his accurate and detailed depictions of animals, embarked on an ambitious project to compare the anatomy of humans with that of other species, showcasing his exceptional understanding of biological structures.
This particular work focuses on the anatomy of a Dorking hen, a breed of domestic chicken known for its distinctive five-toed legs and large size. The illustration presents a side view of the hen's body, meticulously rendered to expose the muscular and skeletal framework beneath the feathers. Stubbs's lateral view allows for a clear examination of the bird's corporeal form, highlighting the similarities and differences in anatomical design when juxtaposed with human and tiger anatomy, which are also subjects of the comparative series.
The series, including "Dorking Hen Body, Lateral View," is a testament to Stubbs's dedication to scientific accuracy in art. It reflects the Enlightenment-era fascination with natural history and the classification of knowledge. The works were not only artistic achievements but also contributed to the fields of anatomy and zoology by providing detailed visual references for study.
George Stubbs's anatomical drawings remain significant for their artistic merit and historical value, offering insight into the intersection of art and science at the turn of the 19th century. "Dorking Hen Body, Lateral View" exemplifies Stubbs's skill in rendering the intricate details of animal anatomy and his contribution to the broader understanding of comparative anatomy during this period.
