    The Nubian Giraffe by Jacques-Laurent Agasse, c.1827. I remember seeing this piece in an art book when I was younger and loving every single aspect of it. I find that there are certain pieces like this from childhoods, pieces where you don’t necessarily remember the title or the artist but the image is as vivid as ever. The Nubian giraffe is a subspecies of the African mammal found in the north east of the continent.
