Concernant la représentation animale, on peut notamment citer les travaux de Florike Egmond (Eye for Detail: Images of Plants and Animals in Art and Science, 1500-1630, Londres, Reaktion Books, 2017), ou encore la thèse de Didi van Trijp sur l’illustration naturaliste de poissons (« Captured on Paper: Fish Books, Natural History and Questions of Demarcation in Eighteenth-Century Europe [ca. 1680-1820] », thèse de doctorat, université de Leyde, 2021).
