Painted on vellum are two pages that are made to appear, using trompe l'oeil imagery, as though they are in a large folio. There are six images of animals, some imagined, some more realistic, on each of the two golden-toned pages. Included in the group are a unicorn, a lion, a leopard, a bull and several antlered animals.Artwork Details
