When the rhino died shortly after arrival, Albrecht Durer in Nuremberg drew this image from a brief sketch and description included in a letter from Lisbon. He never saw the animal either alive or dead. The image was widely circulated throughout Europe as a woodcut print. Durer gave it many of the armour pieces worn by contemporary German knights, but surprisingly not unlike the Indian rhinoceros of the time.
