Aap met een appel zittend op een tak 1834 - 1906

"Aap met een appel zittend op een tak" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Maria Vos, created between 1834 and 1906. It depicts a monkey sitting on a branch, holding an apple in its hand. The artwork is on display at the Rijksmuseum. This work shows the artist's skill in capturing the form and movement of animals in a quick and expressive manner. The loose and gestural lines of the drawing suggest that it was likely a preliminary study for a larger work.
