"An Ocelot" is a painting by Jean-Baptiste Huet, a French artist known for his pastoral scenes and animal studies. Born on October 15, 1745, in Paris, Huet was a prominent painter, engraver, and designer especially recognized for his work during the Rococo period. Although the exact date of creation for "An Ocelot" is not well-documented, Huet's active period suggests it would have been produced in the late 18th century, a time when European artists were increasingly fascinated by exotic wildlife, often brought back to Europe as a result of colonial expeditions.

The painting features an ocelot, a small wild cat native to the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central and South America. Huet's depiction is notable for its attention to detail and the lifelike portrayal of the animal's distinctive coat pattern. The ocelot is typically shown in a naturalistic setting, which reflects Huet's skill in rendering the textures and colors of the natural world. His work often conveyed a sense of peaceful coexistence between humans and nature, a theme that may also be present in this painting.

Jean-Baptiste Huet was trained under the tutelage of his uncle, Nicolas Huet, and later, the history painter Jean-Baptiste Le Prince. He was accepted into the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1769 and received patronage from figures such as the Prince de Condé. Huet's work was widely appreciated for its charm and delicacy, and he became known for his contributions to the textile industry, creating designs for the Oberkampf factory at Jouy-en-Josas.

"An Ocelot" by Jean-Baptiste Huet is a testament to the artist's mastery in capturing the essence of animals and his contribution to the genre of animalier, a style of art that focuses on the realistic portrayal of animals. The painting is an example of the cross-cultural exchange of the time, as European artists sought to document and interpret the flora and fauna encountered in distant lands. While the current location or ownership of "An Ocelot" is not widely recorded, the painting remains an important piece within Huet's oeuvre, illustrating the intersection of art, nature, and scientific curiosity that characterized the Enlightenment period.
