Callitriche Discolore

Callitriche Discolore depicts two closely grouped primates balanced on a slender branch. The larger animal curves around the smaller figure, creating a compact composition in which their bodies, limbs, and sweeping tails overlap. Both faces turn toward the viewer, bringing an unusual sense of directness to the zoological study.

Warm rust and reddish-brown fur contrasts with muted olive, gray, and cream tones, while fine linear marks describe individual changes in texture across the animals' coats. The branch remains lightly rendered against an expansive aged-paper ground. Original scientific and publication inscriptions survive around the composition, preserving the character of the nineteenth-century natural history plate.
