Et skumpelskud. Sammenkrøben abe 1908

Niels Nielsen's 1908 bronze sculpture, *Et skumpelskud. Sammenkrøben abe,* depicts a seated, hunched monkey, its hands clasped together. The sculpture's naturalistic details and expressive posture showcase the artist's skill in capturing the animal's essence. The piece's intimate scale, measuring 22 cm in height, further emphasizes the monkey's vulnerability and adds a personal touch to the observer's experience. *Et skumpelskud. Sammenkrøben abe* exemplifies Nielsen's fascination with the natural world and his ability to imbue animals with human-like emotions.
