About this motif
The hippopotamus lives in the rivers and lakes of Africa and spends most of the day in the water. Despite its placid appearance it is considered one of the continent's most dangerous animals.
Falk's miniature shows a brown-toned hippopotamus in profile on the bank, with grass and water in the foreground and blue clouds above. Image about 5 x 5 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
