A Monkey c. 19th century

"A Monkey" is a whimsical drawing by Ernest Henry Grisset, a 19th-century British artist. Created around the mid-1800s, the work depicts a monkey in human clothing, holding a walking stick and wearing a hat with a feather. Grisset's use of detail in the monkey's attire and the delicate, almost caricature-like style of the drawing add to the humorous and playful nature of the artwork. The drawing is held in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcasing the artist's talent for capturing the essence of his subject with a lighthearted touch.
