Le Gibbon — Jean-Baptiste Audebert

Jean-Baptiste Audebert’s Le Gibbon presents a long-limbed gibbon in a restrained standing pose against an expansive cream ground. Its dark coat, pale hands and feet, and light facial ruff create a striking silhouette while preserving the clarity of a scientific natural-history study.

Fine engraved detail describes the animal’s fur and anatomy with remarkable precision. Published in Audebert’s Histoire naturelle des singes et des makis, the plate retains its original French title and historical scientific designation, Simia Lar, giving the work a distinctly eighteenth-century zoological character.
