The earthy palette and sculptural treatment of form give the scene a grounded, almost monumental presence. Such primate studies were central to late-19th-century zoological research and illustration. The print combines scientific intent with a strong decorative sensibility, making it suitable for both collectors of natural history and refined interior settings. The print is sold unframed, offering flexibility for bespoke presentation. Condition: Very good condition. Gentle age toning; minimal foxing confined to the outer margins. Framing tips: A dark bronze, black, or charcoal frame with a wide cream mat enhances the depth and seriousness of the image.
