EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the lush rainforest of Central Africa with this stunning print of a Mandrillus sphinx (Mandrill), captured in exquisite detail by John Keulemans' watercolour and bodycolour techniques. Dated back to 1907, this Edwardian-era illustration is a testament to the artist's skill and dedication to capturing the intricate features of these fascinating primates.
In this front-facing portrait, we see the Mandrill's striking visage, with its bright blue facial colouration and distinctive crest on top of its head. The artist has masterfully conveyed the subject's expressive gaze, as if it is surveying its surroundings with a keen intelligence. Note the intricate details in the fur texture and shading, which add depth and dimensionality to this already captivating image.
As one of the most iconic species within the Cercopithecidae family, Mandrills are revered for their striking appearance and unique characteristics. Unfortunately, they have been listed as vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting pressures. This print serves not only as a beautiful piece of art but also as an important historical record of these remarkable creatures.
This image is now available from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering historians, researchers, and enthusiasts alike the opportunity to explore this fascinating era in scientific illustration.
