Muse of artists

A few dodos were brought to Europe and they became models for many painters. De Bry (1661), Roelandt Savery (1626-1628), Hufnagel (1626), and Ruthardt (1666), among others, painted dodos.
"... the Dodo solemnly gave her the thimble, pronouncing with graceful voice theese words: «We plead you, distinguished friend, to accept this elegant thimble»."
Alice in Wonderland. Lewis Carrol
