Intricately hand-colored with contemporary precision, the image portrays an enchanting Papio sylvanus baboon, commonly known as the Chacma baboon. The monochrome black and white tones add a timeless elegance to this 19th-century illustration. With its piercing gaze and expressive features, the baboon appears both majestic and mischievous.
