Pantheress by Kerry Darlington

A beautiful image of a young woman protected by a powerful panther, with the background canvas and the animal’s coat blending into kaleidoscope of beautiful colours!

The artist would return to the same big cat theme 2 years later with 'Leopardess' (2023).

This unique edition has an amazing dreamlike quality and is another Kerry tribute to the Pre-Raphaelite era of painters, a group young of artists founded secretly in London in 1848.

‘Ophelia’ is Kerry's other famous nod to the same group, of course remembering the famous Ophelia painting (1851-2) by Sir John Everett Millais. This would go on to be one of her most sort after limited editions!
