Frogs
Description
An undated watercolor study of frogs is included in the series of illustrations produced by Bodmer in the vicinity of St. Louis. Its inscription indicates that it was made on the Missouri or that the subjects were indigenous to that river. It is thus presumed to date from shortly before or just after the artist set out with Prince Maximilian on his voyage to the trading posts on the upper Missouri.
