In the first two decades of the twentieth century, Arthur Wardle was one of the best-known contemporary British animal painters. He portrayed an astonishing diversity of subjects with engaging naturalism and displayed a superb command of different media. Unlike most British animal and sporting artists, who restricted themselves to horse, hound and domesticated animals, Wardle painted all types of animals in watercolour, pastel and oils. It is generally thought that Wardle was completely self-taught. His first work was accepted for exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1880 when he was just sixteen and was titled, Study of Cattle on the banks of the Thames. His first major work to feature wild animals was entitled Panthers Resting and was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1891. From this point on, the exotic animal became a key element in many of his Academy exhibits, such as Leopards Drinking (1896); The Tiger Pool (1897); Jaguar and Macaw (1899); Puma and Turkey (1902); Startled (1909); Lions: sunset (1913); Indian Leopards (1916); Snow Leopards: The Flush of Evening (1921) and A Jungle Story (1936).
