Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this painting combines watercolors and manuscript text to create a visually stunning piece. The image depicts a side view of a lama, meticulously copied from a living animal exhibited in Dublin between 1810 and 1817. Digby's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the essence of this fascinating creature with precision.
