EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century print depicts a Chacma baboon, or Papio ursinus, in a moment of casual feeding. The baboon, native to South Africa, is shown seated on a ledge, with a piece of fruit in hand and a thoughtful expression on its face. The meticulous detail in this artwork, created by Dutch artists Robert Jacob Gordon and Johannes Schumacher, is truly remarkable. The baboon's fur is rendered in intricate chalk and ink on paper, with the artists expertly capturing the texture and coloration of the primate's coat. The use of a Rijnlandse scale adds a sense of proportion and scale to the piece, further emphasizing the baboon's size and presence. This drawing is a testament to the natural history exploration of the 18th century, showcasing the curiosity and scientific interest in the exotic wildlife of Africa. The profile view of the baboon's head, with its prominent brow ridge and expressive eyes, adds to the overall sense of realism and intimacy in the artwork. The use of watercolor and pencil adds depth and dimension to the piece, making it a true masterpiece of 18th century natural history art.
