Le thesauriseur et la singe (The Miser and the Monkey)

Jean-Baptiste Oudry, published 1759

The image shows a man kneeling next to the door of a stone building. He gazes at the door, adjusting it with one hand. He has curly hair and a defined beard, wearing a yellow tunic and a draped purple garment. A monkey sits on the window ledge at the top left, holding a golden object. In the background, there is a green plant, water, and a cloudy sky.
