Description
HERGÉ
The Monkey
India ink on paper for an illustration depicting an elegant little monkey wearing a tie, hat and white gloves. This may have been commissioned in the 1930s for a magazine, or a drawing intended for Le Petit Vingtième. In 1937, Hergé produced a series of illustrations on a similar theme for L'Oasis, a weekly supplement to the newspaper Le Pays Réel. The inking is very fine, and the composition is amusing, with the animal's tail forming a large "S" and palm trees (an oasis?) in the background. Framed. 32.2 x 24.8 cm.
