This painting, titled "Illustration of a Folk Tale: Gibbon Outwitting a Man," depicts a scene with a monkey and a man. The monkey is shown hanging from a tree branch, while the man is standing below, looking up at the monkey. The background of the painting is a light beige color, with some darker shading around the edges. The monkey appears to be outsmarting the man, as it is hanging from the tree branch and the man is looking up at it. The man is holding a long stick or pole, which he may be using to try and catch the monkey. The painting is done in a simple, yet effective style, with bold lines and minimal detail. The painting is held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
