EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite artwork titled "Orangutan, 1836" by the talented French artist Edouard Travies. Measuring 17x10.6 cm, this chalk, brush, and watercolour masterpiece is part of a private collection. Travies created this preparatory drawing for the renowned book "Histoire Naturelle Generale et Particuliere des Mammiferes et des Oiseaux Decouverts Depuis la Mort de Buffon". The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke as he captures the mischievous nature of the orangutan. Set against a clean white background, the portrait-style composition allows us to fully appreciate the ape's cheeky temperament. With a direct gaze towards the camera, this early nineteenth-century primate exudes both curiosity and intelligence. The lush green foliage surrounding the orangutan adds depth to its portrayal while emphasizing its natural habitat. Positioned at the foot of a tree trunk, it seems ready to swing into action at any moment. Travies' use of watercolour brings vibrancy and life to this enchanting piece. The delicate brushwork perfectly captures every nuance of texture in both animal and plant alike. This artwork serves as a testament to Travies' skill as an illustrator and his dedication to capturing nature's beauty with precision. A true gem from nineteenth-century French art that continues to captivate viewers even today.
