Design for a Border with a Portrait of Baron Cuvier 

Jean-Baptiste Arnout's "Design for a Border with a Portrait of Baron Cuvier" is a detailed drawing that functions as a design for a decorative border. It features a portrait of Baron Cuvier, a renowned French naturalist and zoologist, encircled by a garland of stylized flora and fauna. The elaborate border is composed of a variety of animals and plants, including a tiger, a deer, a bird, and a snake. The central portrait is a testament to Arnout’s skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture likeness in a small space. The design would likely have been used for a document, certificate, or other printed material.
