I sketched a skeletal preparation of a horse as a study for oil painting on the 8th of April, 2008. I separately sketched the left and right parts of the specimen on the separate black papers. The oil painting work will be expanded and printed as a part of the 8 meter wide display board at the entrance hall of the university museum. The original work will be exhibited inside. The original painting and the entrance display are going to be shown at the renewal day of the Nagoya University Museum on the 30th of May, 2008.
