The subject of this masterpiece is none other than the Terrapene carolina, a mesmerizing species of turtle known for its distinctive Carolina-Dosenschildkroete markings. Rendered in watercolor and ink on paper by the talented Daniel Friedrich Sotzmann, this painting measures 17x20.1 cm and is currently housed at Humboldt-Universitaet in Berlin, Germany. Its historical significance cannot be understated as it dates back to 1788 when it was first created. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable; every stroke captures the essence of this magnificent amphibian's profile with utmost precision.

This print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and scientific curiosity that have shaped our understanding of the animal kingdom throughout history.
