Miniature With A Monkey
Miniature of a monkey.
Between the 17th and 18th centuries, the symbolism of the monkey shifted from a diabolical image to that of a cunning, even philosophical animal, becoming a satirical and artistic mirror of humanity.
The figure thus becomes a mise en abyme.
Its rarity is on par with that of the animal it depicts.
Painting on ivory.
Frame enhanced with gold leaf, set into the frame structure.
The glass, like the entire piece, is period and original (never disassembled).
