Sir David Attenborough, who had led a campaign to keep both portraits in Britain remarked that it was "exciting news that these two pictures, so important in the history of zoological discovery, are to remain where they were commissioned and painted".
The paintings depict a kangaroo and a dingo, and are the first depictions of Australian animals in Western art.
