George Stubbs, an eminent British painter and anatomist, is renowned for his meticulous and scientifically accurate depictions of animals. One of his notable works, "Dorking Hen Body, Lateral View," is part of his larger project titled "A Comparative Anatomical Exposition of the Structure of the Human Body with that of a Tiger and a Common Fowl," created between 1795 and 1806. This ambitious series aimed to juxtapose the anatomical structures of different species, highlighting both their similarities and unique characteristics.

"Dorking Hen Body, Lateral View" exemplifies Stubbs' dedication to anatomical precision and his artistic prowess. The Dorking hen, a breed known for its distinctive five-toed feet and robust body, is rendered with exceptional detail, showcasing Stubbs' deep understanding of avian anatomy. The lateral view allows for a comprehensive examination of the hen's skeletal and muscular structures, providing valuable insights into the functional morphology of birds.

Stubbs' work in this series was groundbreaking for its time, as it bridged the gap between art and science. His illustrations were not merely artistic representations but were based on thorough dissections and studies of the subjects. This approach was influenced by the Enlightenment's emphasis on empirical observation and the pursuit of knowledge through scientific inquiry.

The "Comparative Anatomical Exposition" series, including the "Dorking Hen Body, Lateral View," was intended to serve as an educational resource for both artists and scientists. It provided a visual reference that could aid in the study of comparative anatomy, a field that was gaining prominence in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Stubbs' work remains a testament to his skill and his contribution to the intersection of art and science, offering a detailed and accurate portrayal of the natural world that continues to be appreciated by scholars and enthusiasts alike.
