Tasso — The Badger

Tasso presents a European badger in profile within a compact natural setting. Its broad, low body is described through dense engraved strokes of charcoal, gray, and brown, while pale facial markings emphasize the eyes and characteristic elongated muzzle.

The animal occupies a layered rocky ledge surrounded by deep green vegetation, small pink and blue flowers, and slender branches. Generous areas of warm ivory paper remain open around the central composition, allowing the detailed animal and hand-colored botanical elements to stand clearly against the page.
