專家說明

The White-throated Capuchin monkey is native to the jungles of Central America and northern regions of South America. Highly social and intelligent, they live in troops of around 20. This type of watercolour study, capturing the characteristics of different species, became increasingly popular throughout the 19th Century as more people travelled to the New World.
