It's a special Guinea Pig Sunday! Mother and little Guinea Pigs, Beatrix Potter, 1895

This original fantasy drawing by Beatrix Potter was given as a Christmas present!

Beatrix Potter, born today in 1866 is best known today as the beloved author and illustrator of the Peter Rabbit series. Her deep affection for the natural world and animals played a significant role in her life and work. Among her many pets, Potter kept guinea pigs, which she adored for their charming and quirky personalities. These little creatures often found their way into her detailed and whimsical illustrations. Beatrix Potter had several guinea pigs as pets, some of whom were a source of inspiration: Notably, guinea pigs appear in:

"The Tale of Two Bad Mice" - This story includes guinea pigs as part of the dollhouse inhabitants that Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca, the two bad mice, encounter.

"The Fairy Caravan" - In this lesser-known work, a guinea pig named Tuppenny is one of the main characters. The story follows Tuppenny's adventures after he runs away from home to join a traveling circus.

"Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes" - This collection of nursery rhymes includes an illustration of a guinea pig.

The first-ever known portrait of a guinea pig may have been uncovered by the National Portrait Gallery.
The unseen portrait depicts three Elizabethan children with a beige, brown, and white guinea pig, cradled by the girl at the centre of the group.
It is possibly the earliest-known depiction of this animal in a portrait.
"We know that guinea pigs were introduced into Europe by traders and were kept as exotic pets", said a gallery spokesperson.
"While archaeological finds for domestic guinea pigs in Europe are rare, a partial skeleton of one that dates from c. 1575 was discovered at Hill Hall in Essex, an Elizabethan manor house."
The unknown children in the painting "almost certainly belong to a wealthy family of the nobility or gentry, as they are expensively and fashionably dressed," says the London gallery. "The skillful painting suggests that it is the work of an artist familiar with Netherlandish techniques."
Portraits of children became popular among the nobility and gentry across Europe in the 16th century.
