P-22

This Ana Inciardi mini print captures P-22, the famous mountain lion who lived for years in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. The composition places the big cat front and center, his broad tawny face filling much of the frame, with warm amber and russet tones rendered in Inciardi's characteristic etching and colored pencil style. Behind him, a green hillside rises against a deep blue sky, and the Hollywood sign appears in white lettering to his right, immediately placing him in his urban habitat.

P-22 became a symbol of wildlife persistence within a sprawling city, navigating freeways and neighborhoods before becoming a beloved local figure until his death in late 2022. The notation "P-22" appears in handwriting at the lower left, with "AI" initialed at the lower right in typical Inciardi fashion. Collectors are drawn to this print because it merges two of the things Inciardi handles best: a strong animal subject and a sense of place.

P-22 earned genuine cultural status in Los Angeles, and prints documenting him carry real emotional weight for anyone who followed his story. As an animal print, it fits naturally alongside her other wildlife and creature subjects, and it also resonates with collectors drawn to California and West Coast themes. The Hollywood sign backdrop adds a layer of wit that feels very much at home in her catalog, which frequently finds unexpected pairings between animals and their environments.

It pairs naturally with her other animal prints, and collectors who focus on California subjects often seek it out as a regional counterpart to her New York city scenes.
