Baboon and Young

Baboon and Young (French: La guenon et son petit) is a bronze sculpture by Pablo Picasso. It depicts a female baboon standing up, holding its offspring. Picasso made the sculpture at his villa near Vallauris in October 1951, adding some plaster modelling to an assemblage of items. An example of the use of found objects in art, the assemblage includes two toy cars forming the female baboon's head, a pottery jar for its body, and an automobile spring for its tail.
