He is absolutely insisting he is not tired. Eyes wide open, expression full of determination. And yet here he is, losing the battle by the second. This little chimpanzee has the energy of a toddler at bedtime, and Linda has caught that moment perfectly in pastel.

Painted on Velour Paper using the finest quality soft pastels and pastel pencils, the piece has a warmth and depth that only pastels at this scale can achieve. It is professionally mounted and framed, and arrives with a Certificate of Authenticity.

20% of the sale price goes directly to Linda's charity partners, supporting the care and rehabilitation of orphaned chimpanzees.

This painting is part of Signature Collection No. 1, a series of four original Chimpanzee pastel paintings. The full collection of four can be purchased together for £1,400 (saving £100).
