The monkey steps forward in three-quarter view, bent slightly at the waist, holding a long pole behind his back with left arm, while his right arm is upraised. From his open palm a release of golden solider-like monkeys with spears in various poses float toward the upper left. His eyes look toward them with open mouth. The foreground is light green, with water flowers floating as it meets the dark background with calligraphy written in vertical lines from upper right to lower left.
