Apothecary Still Life


Still life made from a bunch of specimens and replicas, including a coyote (or some sort of canine skull), a rhino beetle, a katydid, a dried puffer fish, and a human skull replica that is missing it's teeth. In an apothecary cabinet, all kinds of weird things would be used as a way to cure people (even human mummies). There was no distinction whether or not it was animal or human, as long as it some how helped the person. Conte crayon and charcoal.
