The Wolf and the Monkeys

Allart van Everdingen

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a fox and two monkeys in a rocky landscape. The fox is on the left facing the monkeys on the right. One monkey is seated with a thoughtful expression, and the other monkey is looking towards the fox. Trees are in the background, with detailed line shading on the rocky terrain. Branches with leaves create a boundary around the scene.
