115 Unknown – Zoological Study of Mammals – Ink Drawings on Paper (19th Century)
This double-page zoological sketch features finely drawn studies of various mammals rendered in ink on lightly toned paper. The left page presents two canid-like creatures, possibly wolves or foxes, depicted in profile with anatomical attention to muscle structure and fur texture. The right page shows several arboreal and semi-arboreal animals—likely lemurs or other primates—shown climbing, perched, and even gliding, as one specimen mimics the pose of a flying squirrel. The sheet likely served as part of a naturalist's sketchbook or academic reference, capturing animal behavior and posture in observational detail.
Executed with scientific care and artistic delicacy, this study reflects 19th-century interests in comparative anatomy, zoological classification, and field documentation. The drawing is unsigned but clearly produced by a trained hand, possibly connected to an expedition or academic institution.
