Pencil on lined paper

This quick, energetic sketch captured a figure that Daniell came across on his time in Southern Africa. He first visited South Africa in 1799 and embarked on an expedition from the Cape to Bechuanaland in 1802, recording the figures, animals and landscapes that he came across during that journey. After his return to England, in 1804, along with his brother, William, and uncle, Thomas, he published some under the title African Scenery and Animals. More were published posthumously in publications of 1820 and 1832.
