"The Human Figure, lateral view" is a significant work 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 paintings of horses and other animals, embarked on an ambitious project to compare the anatomy of humans with that of other species, reflecting the Enlightenment era's burgeoning interest in science and natural history.

This series represents a pioneering effort in the field of comparative anatomy, a discipline that seeks to understand the similarities and differences in the anatomical structures of different species. Stubbs' work in this series is particularly notable for its meticulous detail and accuracy, which he achieved through extensive dissections and studies. His dedication to the project was such that he reportedly spent 18 months dissecting a single tiger to ensure the precision of his representations.

"The Human Figure, lateral view" is a testament to Stubbs' skill as both an artist and an anatomist. The work showcases a side view of the human body, stripped of skin to reveal the underlying musculature and structure. It is part of a larger body of work that juxtaposes human anatomy with that of a tiger and a common fowl, highlighting the comparative approach that Stubbs took in this series.

The series was published in a limited number of copies, and the plates were produced using the labor-intensive mezzotint process, which allowed for the creation of richly detailed and tonally subtle images. "The Human Figure, lateral view," along with the rest of the series, contributed to the scientific and artistic communities by providing a visual guide to the intricate workings of different species' bodies and emphasizing the interconnectedness of life forms through their anatomical similarities.

Today, the series is recognized not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the field of anatomy and natural history. It serves as an important historical record of the state of scientific knowledge at the turn of the 19th century and remains a subject of interest for both art historians and scientists.
