Kasuaris 1821 - 1891

"Kasuaris" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Guillaume Anne van der Brugghen, created between 1821 and 1891. The drawing depicts a cassowary, a large flightless bird native to New Guinea and northeastern Australia. The artist captures the bird’s distinctive features, including its feathered head, long legs, and powerful beak, with a delicate and precise touch. The drawing exemplifies van der Brugghen’s interest in natural history and his ability to render animal subjects with accuracy and detail.
