Illustration of a one-horned rhinoceros standing on a small grassy island surrounded by water. The rhino has thick, segmented armor-like skin with distinct folds, a single prominent horn on its snout, and a rounded body with short, sturdy legs. Behind the rhinoceros, tropical plants with broad leaves and spiky fronds provide a natural backdrop. The image is labeled "Rhinoceros unicornis L." and features fine detailing typical of 18th-19th century scientific illustrations.
