More about this artwork

The sketch depicts an elephant, rendered in what appears to be pencil or charcoal, with a strong attention to texture and shading. The elephant, positioned slightly facing towards the viewer, exudes a calm demeanor through gentle eyes and a relaxed posture. Its trunk hangs softly, curving towards the ground, while its large ears are slightly pulled back. The skin is portrayed with realistic wrinkles and folds, particularly noticeable around the trunk and the legs, enhancing the sense of the elephant's massive yet graceful form. Shadows are skillfully used to add depth and volume to the body, while the rough treatment of the sketch lines suggests movement and a certain ruggedness of the natural wild environment.

Jean Bernard (1775–1833) was an avid Dutch art collector and a painter. His portraits of people, nature, and animals were drawn mostly with charcoal and colored crayons which beautifully captured the intricate details of his varied subjects. 

He was a successful artist during his lifetime with many of his works decorating ministries and famous people's homes.
