This particular Study is of the Jaguar chappe painted during the late-summer/fall 2025. Chappe was working through the composition and color palette decisions. There were a lot of questions he works through while working through his studies. He tries many different poses, he works through the mineralization of the figure. The main question is, how far can I push this before it become irrecognizable? then stop right right there at the line, sometimes even stepping overt he line. He also studies the anatomy of the subject - This is how he's able to hint at the architectural shapes of his subject. In this case the cougar.
