A circular artwork depicts a scene with a group of gibbons and an egret. The gibbons are on a tree branch with green leaves, on the bottom left. Two gibbons are dark-brown; one sits upright on its haunches with its arms raised; another lies prone. A third gibbon is light-brown and lying on a branch underneath. A white egret flies above. The background is a muted brown; a mountain range and additional foliage are depicted in the bottom right. The artwork is on a beige background.
