This reproduction of an antique illustration depicts a Grivet Monkey (Cercopithecus griseus) accompanied by its young, shown in their arboreal environment. The composition emphasizes the natural posture of the mammal, with a meticulous rendering of the gray and white fur and special attention paid to anatomical details and the subject's expression.
Taken from the scientific corpus of Charles d'Orbigny published between 1841 and 1849, this engraving is a testimony to studies conducted at the Menagerie of the Paris Museum of Natural History. The graphic style reflects the encyclopedic spirit of the 19th century, seeking to document the diversity of mammals with precision that is both documentary and artistic.
This primate study is aimed at enthusiasts of natural history and mammalogy. Used in decoration, it brings a touch of academic knowledge and vintage elegance, allowing the rediscovery of the first scientific syntheses dedicated to great primates and their social behavior.
