Octopus, ink drawing on ostrich egg
PU953-2
This object of curiosity is the encounter of an ostrich egg laid in French Brittany with anatomical illustrator Juliette Grange. The octopus she painted on this egg is in the style of prints with a dry point on metal, used for example for stamps or illustrations in art books until the 1940s. Consisting of parallel lines up to the end of its tentacles... Its geometric position would make it a perfect tattoo subject. But it is this egg that is the only one to display this tatoo. Unique.
