R.G. Finney (Wyoming, B. 1941) "Jaguar and Cubs At Stream" Signed lower middle. Original Acrylic painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood Porcelain Plate for The Endangered Kingdom Collection Silent Jungle. Seeking relief from the jungle's sweltering heat, a female Jaguar takes a cool drink from the water's edge. As her cubs frolic at her side, the mother cat's presence gives her young ones a sense of security they have come to depend upon. Blind at birth, the helpless juveniles quickly learn to rely on the warmth and nourishment that their mother unselfishly provides. As the months pass and the cubs become more independent this family bond remains strong. The doting matriarch spends two years preparing her children for survival in their jungle home. Overall Size: 18 x 18 in. Unframed. (B14546)
