Stag Head Studies is a notable work by the Scottish artist Gourlay Steell, who was renowned for his animal paintings and contributions to the field of natural history art in the 19th century. Born in 1819, Steell was part of a family of artists and followed in the footsteps of his father, John Steell, who was a distinguished sculptor. Gourlay Steell's artistic career was marked by his keen observation and meticulous rendering of animal subjects, which earned him significant acclaim during his lifetime.

Stag Head Studies exemplifies Steell's mastery in capturing the essence and majesty of wildlife, particularly the noble stag, which is a symbol of the Scottish Highlands. The work is a series of detailed studies that showcase the stag's head from various angles, highlighting the animal's powerful antlers, expressive eyes, and textured fur. Steell's attention to anatomical accuracy and his ability to convey the character and vitality of the stag make this series a remarkable example of wildlife art.

Steell's contributions to art extended beyond his paintings; he was appointed as the official animal painter to Queen Victoria in Scotland, a testament to his skill and reputation. His works were exhibited widely, and he played a significant role in the artistic community of his time. Stag Head Studies, like many of his other works, reflects his deep appreciation for nature and his dedication to portraying it with authenticity and respect.

The series remains an important part of Steell's legacy, illustrating his talent and his contribution to the tradition of animal painting. It continues to be admired for its artistic quality and its representation of Scotland's natural heritage.
