Description

This colored pencil drawing shows a portrait of a rhinoceros in an idyllic landscape. The animal is placed in the foreground and takes up most of the image. Its distinctive horn and watchful eye are precisely drawn. The detailed contours and shading of the rhinoceros have been combined with colored elements in the background. The texture of the thick rhinoceros skin is carefully brought out by fine lines and shading. The background consists of a simple but effective landscape. A light blue sky stretches across the upper part of the image, while the lower part is occupied by a light green grassland. Some bare trees are suggested in the distance, giving the image depth. The coloring with an emphasis on gray and white tones for the rhinoceros, contrasted by the soft blues and greens of the surroundings. This gives the depiction a calm, almost meditative atmosphere.
