"Sciurus Rubricandatus," commonly known as the Red-tailed Squirrel, is a vividly illustrated plate by the renowned American naturalist and painter John James Audubon. This artwork is part of his seminal collection, "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," which he worked on later in his career after the completion of his famous "The Birds of America" series. Audubon's Red-tailed Squirrel is a testament to his dedication to depicting the wildlife of North America with scientific accuracy and artistic mastery.

The illustration of the Red-tailed Squirrel showcases Audubon's skill in rendering the fine details and textures of the animal's fur, as well as its lively posture and natural habitat. As with many of Audubon's works, the image serves both as a piece of art and a scientific record, capturing the creature's physical characteristics and behavior in its environment.

Audubon's work on the quadrupeds was a collaborative effort with his sons, John Woodhouse Audubon and Victor Gifford Audubon, and the Reverend John Bachman, who provided the accompanying text for the plates. "Sciurus Rubricandatus" reflects the broader goals of the project, which aimed to document and describe the mammalian wildlife of North America in the same comprehensive manner as Audubon's earlier work had done for birds.

The Red-tailed Squirrel illustration, along with the rest of the quadruped series, contributed to the 19th-century understanding of American fauna and remains an important historical document for both the scientific community and art historians. It is a prime example of the intersection between art and natural history during this period, and of Audubon's enduring legacy as one of America's foremost naturalists and wildlife artists.
