It has two horns, long fur on its neck and chest, and a short tail. The goat stands on all fours, with its weight shifted onto its hind legs. The plant on the left is dark and has a thin trunk with sparse branches and leaves. The background is plain white. Goat (from Sketchbook) by John William Casilear.
