- 30.0 x 26.0 cm
Jan Weenix (1641 – 1719)
Jan Weenix (1641-1719): Nizozemski barokni mojster, znan po bogato podrobno lovskem življenjskem slikarstvu, motivih lovine in pejzažih. Odlikovan z realizmom in živopisnimi barvami.
Against a light brown background is a skull monkey (A Squirrel Monkey), surrounded by a dark brown shadow, on a table edge or window sill. The animal holds a nut in its right leg, while its left front and hind leg clamps the edge of its substrate. His tail hangs smoothly over the edge, with the tip falling just outside the image plane. Meanwhile, the monkey draws the attention of bystanders or passers-by.
