EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning depiction of a ruffed lemur, originating from the Animals in the Reeves Collection. Created by an anonymous Chinese artist in the 19th century, this artwork combines watercolor, bodycolor, and pencil on paper to bring this unique creature to life. The enigmatic nature of this drawing lies in the fact that lemurs are native to Madagascar, making their presence in China during that time period quite mysterious. The artist's attention to detail is evident as they capture every intricate feature of this primate with precision and skill. John Reeves, known for his role as an inspector of tea for the British East India Company based in China, was responsible for acquiring this remarkable piece. Its inclusion within the Zoological Society of London's collection further adds to its significance. The black and white ruffed lemur depicted here stands tall and proud, its full-length figure facing forward. With its distinctive markings and expressive eyes, it exudes both elegance and curiosity. This painting serves as a testament to the diversity found within our natural world. As we gaze upon this exquisite artwork today, we are reminded not only of the beauty inherent in nature but also of our own fascination with capturing it through artistic expression.
