I have been asked by a scholar who is examining the roles of squirrels in
art. She is not looking for nature studies of squirrels, rather for examples
of squirrels as an iconographic part of the work.  Examples can be seen
in the work of Lorenzo Lotto's "Portrait of a Married Couple" (Hermitage)
and  "Virgin & Child with Ss. John the Baptist and Catherine of
Alexandria" (Private Collection, Bergamo) , Cranach's "Cardinal Albrecht"
from the Ringling Museum, or in the Gothic Madonna from Normandy in
the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

She would be grateful for additional examples. Please respond directly
to:
