With Galerie Charpentier, Paris, 1948

Known in their native country of Madagascar as maky, and in French as maki, the ring-tailed lemur is the largest and most recognised of the lemur family, here displayed in Bussy's bright and characteristic style, most probably made from direct observations of the animals in captivity in either London or Paris.
