The image is an illustration of a squirrel monkey in a side profile. The monkey is sitting with its body slightly facing the right. The illustration features expressive facial features with eye and mouth details, as well as loosely sketched fur on its head. The fur is brown with varying levels of detail. The limbs, especially the hands, are curled close to the body. The illustration has a stylized and abstract look with brush strokes emphasizing body contours. The background is a solid green, bordered by a red-brown frame. There are no additional objects in the image. The bottom of the image shows handwritten text reading "A SQUIR'EL MONKEY" and the artist's signature "Robert Andrew Parker" at the bottom right.
