"Little Harvest Mouse" is a painting by John James Audubon, an American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter, renowned for his detailed illustrations of birds and animals in their natural habitats. This particular artwork is part of his lesser-known collection of mammal illustrations, which accompanied his monumental work, "The Birds of America." Audubon's depiction of the little harvest mouse, scientifically known as *Micromys minutus*, is characteristic of his approach to natural history illustration, combining fine artistry with scientific observation.

The painting likely dates from the 19th century, during Audubon's efforts to document the wildlife of North America. While Audubon is primarily celebrated for his avian art, his studies of mammals are also significant contributions to the field of natural history. In "Little Harvest Mouse," Audubon captures the delicate features and agility of this small rodent, often portraying it in a dynamic pose that reflects its natural behavior.

As with many of Audubon's works, the illustration of the little harvest mouse would have been based on his direct observations and possibly specimens he collected during his expeditions. The artwork serves not only as a visual record of the species but also as a testament to Audubon's dedication to the accurate and lifelike portrayal of the animals he studied. The painting is executed with the meticulous detail and vibrant colors that are hallmarks of Audubon's style, aiming to bring the viewer closer to the wonders of the natural world.

"Little Harvest Mouse" contributes to the body of Audubon's work that has had a lasting impact on both art and science. His illustrations have been celebrated for their contribution to ornithology and zoology, as well as for their artistic merit. Today, Audubon's paintings, including "Little Harvest Mouse," are considered valuable cultural artifacts that continue to inspire conservation efforts and an appreciation for biodiversity.
