"Plate 140 White Weasel" is one of the renowned illustrations by John James Audubon, a celebrated American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. Audubon is best known for his extensive studies and detailed illustrations of North American birds, compiled in his monumental work, "The Birds of America." However, his artistic endeavors were not limited to avian subjects; he also produced a series of illustrations depicting various mammals of North America, which were later published in "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America."

"Plate 140 White Weasel" is part of this latter collection, showcasing Audubon's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects in their natural habitats. The illustration features the white weasel, also known as the ermine or stoat (Mustela erminea), in its winter coat. This small carnivorous mammal is depicted with its characteristic white fur, which it adopts during the colder months to blend into the snowy environment, a striking contrast to its brown summer coat.

Audubon's portrayal of the white weasel is not merely a static representation; it is imbued with a sense of life and movement, reflecting his deep understanding of animal behavior and anatomy. The background of the illustration often includes elements of the weasel's natural habitat, providing context and enhancing the realism of the scene. This approach underscores Audubon's commitment to combining scientific accuracy with artistic beauty.

The creation of "Plate 140 White Weasel" involved a collaborative effort between Audubon and his artistic partners, including his sons, John Woodhouse Audubon and Victor Gifford Audubon, as well as the lithographer John T. Bowen. This collaboration ensured that the illustrations were not only scientifically accurate but also visually appealing, contributing to the enduring legacy of Audubon's work in the field of natural history.

"Plate 140 White Weasel" remains a testament to Audubon's skill as an artist and naturalist, continuing to captivate audiences with its intricate detail and lifelike representation of one of North America's fascinating mammalian species.
