About this work
A hand-colored star chart titled La Baleine shows the constellation Cetus as a green, sea-serpent-like whale with a red-finned tail, clawed forelimbs, and an open jaw. Star positions are marked with gold dots and Greek letter labels, with neighboring constellations such as Le Belier, Pegase, Les Poissons, and Le Fourneau named in the surrounding sky.
