Depiction of Capricorn – the patron animal of one of the zodiac signs. The Capricorn is anthropomorphised, it has got human features: it is dressed in a black suit with white elongated buckle on the neck (round, black buttons) and a bowtie.

Capricorn, just like other zodiac signs, plays a prominent part in the Jewish tradition and iconography – the zodiacs are e.g. often an element of synagogal polychromies. The drawing was a part of visuals for the International Children’s Day celebrated in the POLIN Museum in 2016 inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (www.polin.pl/pl/dziendziecka2016); it was used in the design of numerous promotion materials of the event (posters, leaflets, stickers for paper bags, name tags, stickers with Hebrew alphabet, online banner).
