Portrait of Jock
(2005)
Subject: Western lowland gorilla silverback Dimensions (inches): 14 x 16 Medium: Gouache Description: SOLD Commissioned work
Jock is the current silverback with the family group at Bristol Zoo Gardens. This painting of him was commissioned by Bristol Zoo Gardens as a presentation gift to HRH The Earl of Wessex in commemoration of his visit in 2005. He had visited the conservation and primate orphan rescue centre in Cameroon, that Bristol Zoo is involved with, previously and his visit to Bristol was a follow up to see how the conservation work connected.
