Blereau (Badger) is a 1745 ink by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a badger curled up on its side. Its fur looks thick and textured, especially around its head and paws. The background is simple—just some rough lines for grass and a faint hill. The artist focused on the badger’s fur, making it look almost three-dimensional. The lines are precise, showing every strand of hair. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists create detailed prints like this.
