Description
A seated monkey raises a goblet to its lips in this classical engraving, rendered in precise black linework against a cream-colored ground. The figure sits in a contemplative pose on a simple log, its posture and gesture evoking both human dignity and satirical commentary through meticulous cross-hatching and fine detail. At home in a study, library, or cabinet of curiosities. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
