Artwork Description

A white rhinoceros approaches the water in Etosha, Namibia, its great pre-historic form silhouetted against the pale African earth. I made this from a low hide dug close to the waterhole, an angle that reveals every fold of the animal’s thick, armoured hide and the quiet power in its stride. White rhinos are among the most ancient and imperilled of Africa’s giants, and to sit metres away as one comes down to drink is to witness something genuinely timeless.

A numbered limited-edition giclée fine art print by award-winning Australian wildlife photographer John Wiseman — printed on museum-grade archival paper and ready to frame and hang. A collectible statement piece for nature lovers and contemporary interiors alike.
