Detailed Description
Two vertical ink wash paintings are displayed side-by-side, each with a light off-white background and gold patterned borders at the top and bottom. The left painting features a large, disheveled adult male figure walking towards the right. He has dark, messy hair and a beard, and wears a loose, tattered light grey robe that is open at the chest. His right arm is bent, hand open, gesturing forward. His skin is a light peach tone, and a dark band is around his right ankle. Accompanying him are two small, bald children, both wearing red garments, positioned behind his right leg. A small, white, fluffy dog walks to the right of the children. Dark calligraphic text and a red seal are in the upper left corner. The right painting depicts a grey monkey perched atop a large, dark, craggy rock formation. The monkey faces left, with a reddish face, and its fur is rendered in shades of grey and black ink. The rock formation is depicted with bold, expressive ink washes, extending from the bottom right upwards. Small clusters of red leaves or flowers are visible on and around the rock. Dark calligraphic text and a red seal are in the upper right corner.
