This is a watercolor drawing of a small, furry animal with big ears and a long tail curled up behind it. Its front paws are tucked in, and it looks like it’s mid-jump or just landed. The colors are soft—light brown fur, darker shading on its back, and a pale belly. The animal looks like a jerboa, a type of desert-dwelling rodent. The artist used smooth, blended strokes to show its fur and movement. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s delicate animal drawings.
