I note that the National Library of the Netherlands has identified this image as being a "monkey." But I note this primate is not showing any tail. Look at the feet? Those are definitely not the feet of a monkey or even an ape.

In terms of scale, this animal is shown with panels of various known, correctly drawn species that include a horse, a goat, a sheep, a wild boar, a hunting dog, a deer, and others. When those animals are compared to this one, they do not all fill their frames and some appear smaller. This creature appears to be a full-sized wildman, not a monkey nor an ape.

The following are the specifics on the what and the where of this item today:

Please find below comparative art of a boar, dogs, deer (stag), and horse. Note the stylized head tilt, mouth, but the realistic overall illustration of the animal (with special attention to how the feet are shown).
