Zebra Brooch
An art-inspired brooch makes a unique gift.
Our striking brooch breathes new life into the zebra on a banknote (ca. 1824–37) attributed to the engraver and painter Asher Brown Durand (American, 1796–1886). Durand was instrumental in the establishment of America's first artistic fraternity, the Hudson River School, as an early champion of its founder, the landscape painter Thomas Cole (American, b. England, 1801–1848). Cole became a profound influence on Durand, instilling within him a deep appreciation for the majesty of untamed nature. The prancing zebra on The Met's banknote, printed by the engraving firms that Durand co-owned and operated, was made around the time that the Hudson River School emerged.
