Visual Summary

Brief Description

A monochrome sketch depicts numerous monkeys and human-like figures in a dense, active composition

Detailed Description

A monochrome sketch depicts a crowded scene within a faint rectangular border. In the upper left corner, outside the main border, faint text is visible, reading "नहुष नेरवा". The composition is densely populated with numerous figures, primarily monkeys and several human-like individuals. Along the top edge, a row of monkeys is depicted, some seated, others in various poses. The central area features a cluster of figures, including monkeys and human-like forms, appearing to be in motion or falling amidst swirling lines that radiate outwards. One prominent human-like figure in the upper right appears to be reaching or gesturing towards the central activity. Other human-like figures are visible on the right side, some standing or seated. Monkeys are scattered throughout the scene, often overlapping, climbing, or interacting with each other and the human-like figures. The lower portion of the drawing is less dense, with a few monkeys positioned near the bottom border.
