Achille Devéria (1800-1857) (or surroundings). "Un rival du grand Seigneur".

Erotic scene of a monkey and three women. Handcoloured lithograph, 28 x 23 cm., c. 1835-1840, in mount with the title mounted.

A few scratches in the print due to a broken frame. Very rare and early bestial image. The lithograph was one of the most notable and provocative of an exceptionally rare series "Intérieur d'un harem", see Galitzin, Supplément Inconographique, 104.
