The Scholar’s Menagerie

A richly staged digital tableau places a pale-faced langur at the center of an ornate salon, seated amid handwritten papers, an open book, fruit, flowers, and a glass of red wine. A bright bird rests at the monkey’s side while another feathered form crosses its lap, and a framed woodland scene of birds echoes the living animals below. Antique furnishings, theatrical arrangement, and polished detail give the piece the witty atmosphere of a Victorian curiosity cabinet with a quietly surreal twist.
