Blereau (Badger)

Jacques-Philippe Le Bas and Jean Eric Rehn after Jean-Baptiste Oudry

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a badger laying on the ground. The drawing shows the badger in a resting posture, with its legs tucked beneath its body and its head turned slightly. The badger's facial features, including the black and white stripes on its face, are detailed. The background is minimal, focusing on the badger and suggesting the texture of the ground beneath it.
