Le Galago — Jean-Baptiste Audebert

Jean-Baptiste Audebert’s Le Galago presents a small galago seated in profile against an expansive cream ground. Its compact body is balanced by an exceptionally long curving tail, while the animal delicately holds a slender piece of food between its hands.

Fine engraved texture describes the grey-brown coat, pale underside, large ears and elongated fingers with remarkable restraint. Dark markings around the eye and subtle touches of warm brown and muted pink give the figure definition without disturbing the quiet, spacious character of this late eighteenth-century natural-history plate.
