Detailed Description
A vertical grayscale ink painting depicts two monkeys in a snowy, mountainous landscape. The foreground features a large monkey positioned slightly to the left of the center, facing left with its head turned slightly forward. Its left hand is raised near its mouth. Its fur is rendered with varying shades of gray, creating texture. Behind and slightly above this monkey, a second monkey is visible, looking directly forward. Both monkeys have lighter faces and darker fur. The ground beneath them is covered in a light gray, suggesting snow. Dark, spiky vegetation, possibly pine branches, emerges from the snow around and behind the monkeys, particularly prominent above the second monkey and extending towards the upper right. In the upper portion of the painting, a large, sweeping snow-covered form, possibly a mountain peak or a large branch, extends from the left towards the center. The background is a lighter, uniform gray, suggesting a distant, hazy sky or landscape. The overall composition is vertical, with the monkeys occupying the lower half of the scroll. In the lower right corner, a vertical inscription reads '紅仙', followed by a small, dark, rectangular mark.
