A circular ink painting shows a dark monkey on a branch, reaching for a small, light object
Detailed Description
A circular ink painting on a light brown surface depicts a dark-furred monkey with a lighter face. The monkey sits on a dark branch in the upper right quadrant. Its right arm is raised, and its hand holds a small, light-colored object. The monkey's body is rendered with dark, textured brushstrokes, while its face is a lighter tone with dark eyes and mouth. The branch extends diagonally from the lower right towards the center, rendered with varying shades of dark ink. Below the monkey and extending towards the lower left, faint, dark ink washes appear to form additional foliage and branches. In the upper left quadrant, three vertical characters are written in black ink: 玉, 宋, 光.
