Description

This one-of-a-kind piece of art has been created by a pair of golden lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia), who reside at the National Zoo's Small Mammal House. Enticed by mealworms and other treats, these small primates manipulate paint with brushes in an effort to create unique masterpieces. This work not only demonstrates artistic design, but cooperation as well! Approximately 21' x 14 1/2' framed. Image may not be identical to picture (each painting is unique!)
