Monkey. Mori Ippo (1798-1871). Shijo painter. Japanese hanging scroll

A charming digital painting depicts a golden-furred monkey clinging to a tree branch in a lush, vibrant jungle. Its large, expressive eyes and sweet expression captivate the viewer. The monkey's long tail drapes down the branch, near a small, reddish-brown bird perched on a leaf. Surrounding the monkey are vibrant pink and orange flowers, adding to the tropical ambiance. The overall style is whimsical and evocative of a fairytale setting.

Bornean orang-utan: This drawing by a Chinese artist was inspired by one of a pair given to Raffles in 1811 by the Sultan of Pontianak in western Borneo. Raffles's scribe Abdullah wrote that the male ape was 'very tame and wore trousers, a coat and hat given him by Mr Raffles' and behaved 'almost like that of a human being'
