Poster about the red squirrel, based on an old engraving from 1774.

Poster of the red squirrel, after a 1774 engraving by the artist and naturalist Georg August Goldfuss. Dimensions: 21 X 14.8 cm. Frame not included. High-quality, heavyweight paper, 250 gsm. Shipped securely in a rigid package. This beautiful poster depicts a red squirrel, or Sciurus vulgaris, in a delicate pose, holding a piece of nut that it seems ready to enjoy. The animal, with its vibrant and detailed colors, is perfectly rendered thanks to Goldfuss's meticulous artistry, which captures the nuances of its reddish fur and the texture of its bushy tail. It stands on rocky ground, surrounded by small natural elements such as a shell and a pebble, which enhance the realistic aspect of this scene. This engraving, part of a scientific series from the period, highlights not only the beauty of the squirrel but also the study of wildlife in its natural environment. The squirrel, renowned for its liveliness and agility, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving wooded areas where it finds food and shelter. This work, inspired by naturalist observations of the period, would be a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or wildlife art enthusiasts.
