Period: 1850-1900;
Geographic: London; United Kingdom; Greece
Description: Here we have an ape or orangutang sitting on the left side of the image with its left arm outstretched and looking intrigued at the sight of a fox on the right of the image. It appears to glance at the tail of the fox almost as if it is about to reach out and touch the tail. The fox on the other hand looks very unimpressed as it is baring its teeth at the ape. The setting is appeared to be a clearing with some foliage surrounding the two animals.
