Swinging Gibbon is a 1202 unspecified by Xia Gui, a Ming Painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a gibbon swinging from a tree branch. The gibbon is black with a white face and is holding onto a thin branch with one hand. The branch has leaves and is attached to a tree trunk on the right side of the painting. The background is a light brown color. The gibbon is the main focus of the painting, and its movement is conveyed through the curved line of its body and the motion of its arm. The tree branch and leaves add depth and texture to the painting. The artist, Xia Gui, uses a simple yet effective composition to capture the gibbon's movement and grace.
