Creation year
1978
Thanks to its striped tail, the ring-tailed lemur or katta is unmistakable and has become a symbolic animal for Madagascar as the best-known representative of the lemurs. It is also known for its role in the animated film “Madagascar” and in the comedy “Fierce Creatures”. This charcoal drawing of a female with young served as a design for an oil painting showing a group of four ring-tailed lemurs.
