La visite 1878

"La Visite" is an etching created by Lorenz Frølich in 1878. The artwork depicts a group of monkeys in a shadowy cave, with one monkey standing prominently in the foreground, pointing towards the others. The scene appears to depict a social interaction, possibly a visit or gathering, suggesting a commentary on human social dynamics and behavior through the lens of animal life. This piece is currently part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection.
