Study of a Hippopotamus, head and shoulders

Henry Salt is a Romanticism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Henry Salt filled a sketchbook with careful pencil drawings of a hippopotamus in 1825. Three of the sheets survive: one close-up of the head, another with two smaller sketches, and a full-body view. The lines are precise, the shading gentle, showing how an artist trained his eye before cameras.

If you like close observation of animals, tap Study of a Hippopotamus, full length to see the whole creature in one clean line.
