"Koala and Young" is a notable artwork by John William Lewin, an English-born artist who became the first professional artist to settle in Australia. Lewin is recognized for his natural history illustrations, particularly those documenting Australian flora and fauna. Created in the early 19th century, "Koala and Young" is significant as one of the earliest European artistic depictions of the koala, a marsupial native to Australia.

The artwork is a watercolor painting, showcasing Lewin's attention to detail and his commitment to depicting the subjects with scientific accuracy. It features an adult koala with its offspring, capturing the animal's physical characteristics and the texture of its fur. The painting not only reflects Lewin's artistic skill but also serves as an important historical record of Australian wildlife at a time when European knowledge of the continent's unique species was still in its infancy.

"Koala and Young" is emblematic of the period of European exploration and natural history study in Australia. Lewin's work contributed to the documentation and understanding of Australian species by the scientific community and the public in Europe. The painting is also illustrative of the intersection between art and science during the age of Enlightenment, when artists often accompanied scientific expeditions to record the natural world.

As an artist, Lewin was prolific, and his body of work had a significant impact on the visual culture of early colonial Australia. "Koala and Young" remains a testament to his legacy as a pioneer in Australian art and natural history illustration. The artwork is not only appreciated for its aesthetic qualities but also valued for its contribution to the early European perceptions and representations of Australian wildlife.
