Brazillian Monkeys Sir Edwin Landseer 1842 The Royal Collection Commissioned by Queen Victoria |
Though Landseer’s works included portraits, he was best known for his paintings of animals. He usually painted dogs and horses and other animals native to Britain, however, every so often, he’d have a chance to have some exotic sitters. I’m glad that he did. It would have been a shame is these little simians had been lost to the ages.

Perhaps these are ordinary, regulation sized monkeys but the Pineapple, rather, is a spectacular, gigantic, nine-day wonder fruit.
Oh! That's an equally exciting concept!
