Caesar by Sir Edwin Landseer (1802-73). Source: “Studies and Sketches by Sir Edwin Landseer, R.A.” (1875): 195. “Lent by Mr. W. P. Bodkin, Highgate, C.E.” “When and where ‘Caesar’ lived, we cannot ascertain; all we know of him is told by the artist himself in the lines he has written on the sketch, which is rather elaborately drawn in pencil: it is the lifelike head of a noble animal, trained, as it seems, to the gun, for he holds in his mouth, a dead bird” (194).
