This detailed engraving by Jacques Eustache de Sève captures a naturalistic depiction of a frog, labeled "La Raine à Byparu" (The Byparu Frog), shown at its natural size. The composition features the frog perched among large leaves and branches, rendered with scientific precision and artistic detail typical of 18th-century natural history illustrations. This print likely originates from a significant work on amphibians or reptiles, contributing to the comprehensive documentation of the natural world during the Enlightenment.

Jacques Eustache de Sève was a celebrated French naturalist artist known for his meticulous and aesthetically pleasing illustrations of animals. He notably contributed a vast number of plates to Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon's monumental Histoire Naturelle and Bernard Germain Étienne de Lacépède's subsequent volumes, including the Histoire naturelle des quadrupèdes ovipares et des serpens. His works are highly regarded for their scientific accuracy and their contribution to the widespread dissemination of zoological knowledge in the late 18th century.
