About this work

This photo shows a badger curled up in a rocky den. The animal’s fur is a mix of dark brown and lighter patches, and its head is tucked under its body. The den walls are rough, with shadows and crevices making it look like a natural cave. The badger’s tail is visible, curled neatly around its paws. The lighting highlights the texture of the fur and the uneven rock, making the scene look almost three-dimensional. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more photos like this.
