The image is a vintage-style illustration of a ringtail possum perched on a branch. The possum is a rich, dark brown color with a lighter, reddish-orange underside. It has a long, bushy tail with black rings, and its paws are visible gripping the branch. The possum is depicted in profile, with its head turned slightly towards the viewer. The branch is textured and appears to be part of a tree. Several green leaves sprout from the branch, adding a touch of natural color to the scene. The background is a soft, pale blue, creating a gentle contrast with the darker tones of the possum and branch. The illustration has a delicate, detailed quality, reminiscent of botanical or zoological illustrations from the 19th or early 20th century. There is text at the bottom of the image, likely identifying the species and artist.
