More about this artwork

Samuel Howitt, an artist renowned for his ability to capture the dynamic essence of animals in their natural settings, offers a striking scene in "A Monkey and Young" (after 1799). This painting portrays a highly emotive moment between two monkeys on a rocky outcrop. The older monkey, with a face marked by concern, extends its arm desperately towards the younger one, which appears to be slipping or has just fallen. The attention to detail in the muscular tension of the monkeys’ limbs and the expressive agony in their faces evokes a strong sense of urgency and maternal protectiveness.The landscape around them — understated yet rugged, with earthy tones and shadowed crevices — focuses the narrative squarely on the interaction between the two characters, highlighting their vulnerability in the face of natural challenges. Howitt uses soft watercolors to add a sense of immediacy and fluidity to the scene, effectively capturing the fleeting, precarious nature of the moment.“A Monkey and Young,” with its powerful depiction of primal emotion and survival, remains a compelling example of Howitt’s artistic mastery and his keen observation of animal behaviors.
