A pair of vertical hanging scrolls in ink and color on tan silk features monkeys. In the left scroll, monkeys with soft gray fur rest on a rocky ledge beneath a leafy tree; one reaches toward a branch. In the right scroll, an adult monkey hangs from a curved, flowering cherry branch while a small monkey clings to its chest. Both scrolls include dark signatures and red seals in the bottom corners.
