It's a fascinating and unique piece that brings a blend of history, humor, and intellectual curiosity to any space.
This framed print is a tribute to a real-life chimpanzee who was a public sensation in the 1880s. The painting brilliantly reflects the 19th-century debates around evolution and human identity.
