Zittend aapje, een vrucht etend 1775 - 1833

"Zittend aapje, een vrucht etend" (Sitting Monkey Eating Fruit) is a 19th-century drawing by Dutch artist Jean Bernard, depicting a monkey sitting on a rock and eating a fruit. The artwork is a detailed and naturalistic representation of the animal, executed in graphite on paper, and is a good example of Bernard's skill in animal portraiture. Currently located at the Rijksmuseum, the drawing provides a glimpse into the artist's fascination with the natural world.
