The Artwork This delightful composition, entitled Chinese Zodiac, features a whimsical vertical tower of animals inspired by the Chinese zodiac. The animals are stacked one above another in a playful and precarious arrangement, creating a charming visual narrative.

Below them, a lively collection of animals, including a horse, monkey, rooster, goat and snake, forms an amusing and imaginative composition. Executed in delicate black ink lines and transparent watercolour washes, the illustration perfectly demonstrates Vanistendael's spontaneous, expressive and humorous drawing style. The narrow vertical composition contrasts beautifully with the generous white margins of the sheet, giving the artwork a particularly elegant appearance. The drawing is signed by Judith Vanistendael in pencil in the lower right corner. Highlights Original hand-drawn illustration, not a print or reproduction.
