Ring-tailed Lemur (Katta) Art Print by Klaus Meyer-Gasters

This is a framed art piece, appearing to be a high-quality lithograph or print of a watercolor painting depicting a ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta). The artwork is the characteristic style of German painter Klaus Meyer-Gasters (1925-2016), known for his animalier subjects and expressive use of wet-on-wet technique. The lemur is rendered with soft, blurred edges and a muted color palette of cool greys, greens, and blacks, contrasted by distinct orange-red eyes and a long, banded tail that curls toward the foreground. The composition is set against a simple, light-toned background. The piece is housed in a dark wood frame with visible grain, likely stained oak or mahogany, and protected under a sheet of glass which shows significant reflection. There is a signature visible in the lower right corner appearing to read 'Meyer-Gasters'. The condition shows some slight yellowing of the paper consistent with age (mid-to-late 20th century) and minor surface wear to the frame. The print quality suggests a mid-century botanical/zoological illustration style, emphasizing both scientific accuracy and artistic fluidity.
