Additional Information
Featuring portraits of African wildlife—rhinoceros, lion, elephant, leopard and cape buffalo—David Shepherd’s The Big Five highlights more than five decades of wildlife work from the British-born artist. A dedicated painter and a passionate conservationist, Shepherd rarely painted North American wildlife, yet his work was collected in the United States and his causes were celebrated.
