This hanging scroll depicts "Monkeys at Night" in the Lingnan style of painting. The artist Gao Jifu was inspired by his study of Japanese painting in his early career, particularly works that captured atmosphere and changes in light and shadow over time. In this work, tree trunks are rendered in light ink washes, with a bright moon hanging above the trees. Several monkeys can be seen climbing among the branches, capturing the moment of the monkeys' activities under the moonlight. The painting reflects the influence of Japanese painting on the development of Gao's unique Lingnan style.
