"The Cameleopard, or a new hobby" is a pencil sketch by the English artist William Heath, also known as 'Paul Pry'. Created in 1827, it depicts a humorous scene of a couple riding a giraffe-like creature, perhaps mocking the fashion of the time or the novelty of exotic animals. Heath was known for his satirical cartoons and social commentary, making this piece a quintessential example of his work. The sketch is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
