This is a vintage illustration of two Bettongia graii, also known as the barred bandicoot or southern bandicoot. The animals are depicted lying on a patch of earth with sparse grass and small plants around them. The Bettongia graii are small, rat-like marsupials with a pointed snout and large ears. They have a grey-brown coat with a slightly darker stripe down their back. One animal is lying on its side, facing the viewer, while the other is curled up behind it, partially obscured. Both animals have a long, curled tail. The illustration is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the fur and facial features of the animals. The background is a simple, neutral color, which helps to emphasize the animals. The illustration is labeled with the scientific name of the animal, 'Bettongia graii', and the artist's name, 'W.H.S.', at the bottom of the image. The illustration is printed on a cream-colored paper, giving it a vintage look.
