This vintage 1985 wildlife composition by renowned South African artist Mark Enslin captures the formidable presence of African birds of prey through a striking, multi-perspective layout. Trained in graphic design at Johannesburg Technikon, Enslin is celebrated for integrating precise line work and graphic framing with organic wildlife forms. Titled "Winged Hunters," the work showcases detailed studies of raptors in varying poses and focal depths, contrasting rich dark backdrops with realistic, feathered textures. Presented in a double-matted setting within a classic gilded wood frame, the total framed measurements are 84cm x 71cm.
While the signature is not currently exposed on the visible picture plane, it is believed to be concealed behind the inner matting border, a common occurrence with custom-framed works. Enslin’s art has been showcased internationally in exhibitions across South Africa, Australia, and Europe, as well as featured in prominent corporate and private collections. This piece represents a fine example of mid-1980s South African wildlife illustration, offering both technical refinement and bold decorative appeal.
