EDITORS COMMENTS
Auguste-Andre Lancon's captivating print, "Horse with Monkey on Back" (n.d.), showcases the unique bond between two distinct animals, transporting viewers to a bygone era. The monochrome drawing, executed in pen and black ink on ivory wove paper, depicts a man in a country setting, seated atop a horse with a monkey perched comfortably on his back. The horse, with its regal posture and flowing mane, appears calm and accustomed to the presence of its unusual passenger. The monkey, with its alert eyes and playful expression, seems to be enjoying the ride, holding onto a small drum or musical instrument. The image, a testament to the artist's skillful use of line and shade, invites reflection on the concept of captivity and the role animals played in human leisure and entertainment in the past. The horse and monkey, despite their contrasting sizes and natures, create a harmonious tableau, highlighting the intriguing relationship between man and beast. Auguste-Andre Lancon, a French artist, masterfully captures the essence of this pastime, transporting us to a simpler time. The print, a treasure of heritage art, is a must-see for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this rare and intriguing work in its extensive collection of prints and drawings, adding to its rich and diverse offerings.
