"Ruhende Zebras" (Resting Zebras) is an oil painting by the German painter, illustrator, and explorer Wilhelm Kuhnert (1865–1926), known for his realistic depictions of wildlife. Kuhnert, who was one of the pioneers in portraying animals in their natural habitat, traveled extensively in Africa to study animals in their environment, which greatly influenced his artistic work.

The painting "Ruhende Zebras" is a testament to Kuhnert's skill in capturing the essence of African wildlife. It depicts a group of zebras at rest, showcasing the artist's attention to detail and his ability to render the animals' distinctive striped patterns with accuracy and depth. The composition likely reflects Kuhnert's observations during his African expeditions, where he would have encountered these animals in the wild.

As a notable work in Kuhnert's oeuvre, "Ruhende Zebras" exemplifies the late 19th and early 20th-century European fascination with exotic wildlife and the natural world, a theme that was prevalent in the colonial period. Kuhnert's work, including this painting, contributed to the European understanding of African fauna and influenced both art and natural history illustration.

The painting is also significant for its contribution to the genre of animal painting, a field in which Kuhnert was a leading figure. His ability to convey the calmness and the communal behavior of zebras in their natural setting, without human presence or interference, marked a departure from the anthropocentric approach of earlier wildlife art.

"Ruhende Zebras" remains an important work for scholars studying the intersection of art, colonial history, and natural history, as well as for those interested in the development of wildlife art as a genre. The painting is a reflection of Wilhelm Kuhnert's artistic legacy and his role in shaping the visual culture of his time through his detailed and sensitive portrayal of the animal kingdom.
