Among French animal painters, Jean Royer is the great unknown. Stylistically comparable to Paul Jouve, he costs only a fraction of the price and inspires no less enthusiasm. Black panthers were his speciality. With his gracefully prowling yet powerful big cats, he joins the illustrious ranks of Art Deco panther painters and modellers.
