Sketches of Two Animal Skulls

William Rimmer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows pencil sketches of two animal skulls. The top sketch is positioned on the left side and depicts a skull facing to the left. Below and to the right of the top sketch is another skull sketch, oriented with its snout pointing left and slightly down. This skull has more defined features and shading compared to the top one. Both sketches are on a white background with darker shading around the sketches, likely due to the pencil marks. Small writing is present on the bottom right. The sketches are by William Rimmer and titled "Sketches of Two Animal Skulls".
