The Kongouro from New Holland
The UK government has stepped in to place an export bar on two paintings by 18th-century artist George Stubbs.
One of the paintings depicts a dingo, and the other a kangaroo. They are credited with being the first introduction the British people had to these animals. Stubbs had seen neither a dingo nor a kangaroo in the flesh. He worked from the spoken accounts of those who had, as well as a preserved kangaroo skin which he inflated. Considering what he was working from, I think the kanga is remarkable.  More on story here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21344589

Quite good on the kangaroo, for a bloke who'd never seen one alive, and better than a few early kangaroo paintings I've seen.
Didn't do so well on the dingo, unless they've changed a lot in 220 years.

What happens if some furriner offers more than £5.5 million?

Yeah, well, keep 'em then. The dingo don't look like a dingo and the kangaroo looks like a jacked up mouse.
I hope somebody 'fixes' both of 'em.

That's what Sylvester always though kangaroos were.
