A circular ink painting on textured brown paper depicts two monkeys huddled in the lower right. A large monkey hunches over a smaller one that gazes forward with wide, dark eyes. They sit atop dark, craggy rocks. Faint, jagged lines in the upper right suggest distant peaks, while a vast, empty expanse occupies the left. Fine, grid-like textures are visible across the surface, with dark ink strokes defining the subjects.
