Long-Tailed Weasel

Anonymous Artist · c. 1845 · oil on canvas ·  Accession ID  1951.9.4

A branch with long, bell-shaped golden-yellow flowers and dark green leaves drops from near the top right corner of this vertical painting. Four clusters of four or five blossoms each are spaced along two branches that fork from the main stem. Each flower is russet-red or burnt orange on the outside of the long petals, which flare to reveal a vivid yellow interior. Two yellow birds perching among the flowers are easily overlooked at first glance. The birds are small, about the size of each cluster of blossoms. They each stand on a branching stem and both face inward. The branches are outlined against a hazy blue sky with soft billowing clouds.

A tawny brown, long-bodied ferret leaning over a grassy mound in this horizontal painting. The animal’s body creates an arch supported on its short, darker brown legs. Its thin tail is lifted and a dark brown band across its paler, cream-white face resembles a mask. The animal has short claws and compact, rounded ears. The ferret appears to investigate a small nest at the lower center of the painting. The nest is partially hidden among tufts of grass and contains four pale, speckled eggs. Grassy hills roll back to the horizon, which comes halfway up this composition, and a sheet of white clouds mostly covers the blue-gray sky above.
