This miniature drawing presents a finely detailed portrait of a zebra, its head turned slightly to the side to reveal the elegant curve of its neck and the striking symmetry of its black-and-white stripes. Each stripe is meticulously rendered in pencil, following the natural contours of the zebra’s face and body, creating a sense of rhythm and movement. The zebra’s dark, watchful eye is a focal point—calm, intelligent, and alert. Its mane stands upright in crisp, short strokes, echoing the stripe pattern with a touch of texture. Though small in scale, the portrait conveys the quiet strength and unique beauty of this iconic African animal.
