About this work

This watercolor painting shows three animals: a hedgehog, a beaver, and a baboon. The hedgehog is at the top, the beaver is below and to the left, and the baboon is at the bottom. The animals are painted in shades of brown and gray, with some pink and white accents. The background is a light beige color. The painting is done in a realistic style, with a lot of detail in the fur and features of the animals. The hedgehog's quills are particularly well-done, and the beaver's flat tail is visible. The baboon's face is expressive, with a slightly open mouth. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
