Indian Red Painted Leopard Door Panel

This tall Indian leopard panel is bold, & playful. Painted on old timber, the leopard stretches the full height of the panel, its elongated body and spotted coat creating an immediate sense of drama. A wide, comical smile softens the composition, giving the piece a mischievous, characterful presence rather than a fierce one.

Rich yellow and ochre tones sit confidently against a worn red ground, forming a palette that feels vibrant, warm, and distinctly bohemian. The loose, hand-painted spotting and simplified form favour energy and movement over realism, resulting in a surface that feels lively and instinctive, with the kind of visual confidence that works effortlessly in eclectic interiors.

Inspired by the leopards of Rajasthan, animals traditionally linked with protection and the wild landscapes of western India. Hung in a hallway, stairwell, or tall interior space, it delivers impact, humour, and a strong vertical statement in equal measure.
