        Jaafar Taib (b. Malacca, 1952) Leopard (2), 2011

        Est: RM45,000 - RM80,000

        A leopard (panthera pardus) at rest signifies contentment and abundance, its hunger satiated until the next kill. Ensconced on a higher mound in the thick forest, it contemplates on nothing in particular, just the instincts of watchfulness and alertness to any inherent danger or opportunities. It looks regal with its well reticulated rosettes, like a polished ceramic toy. Leopards are nocturnal creatures that can be found in the national parks of Belum-Temengor, Taman Negara and Endau-Rompin. Despite having short legs and long body, it can still give its prey a run of its life, and its large head invests it with greater strength in force and bite. Jaafar Taib is one who likes to go into the periphery forests to observe and paint birds and animals, though avoiding the dangerous types.
