Gray Wolf and Golden Jackal, Exquisite Early 19th Century Watercolor

A few more today from a second batch of fine c. 1840s watercolors, which I went back to my source in Germany to scoop up after having sold the last several I had quickly. This is not a hand-colored engraving, it is an original, very finely executed ink and watercolor drawing, and my photos do it no justice; the color and detail is just glorious! One sees hand-colored engravings in this manner (Bertuch et al) but quite a different thing in watercolor, with the fine execution amplifying a sense of the majesty (and potential ferocity!) of this pair, a gray wolf and a golden jackal, I believe. 

Approx 10 3/4 x 8 1/4 and in very good condition, richer and more beautiful in hand.
