A delicate watercolour rendering of a monkey executed in vivid turquoise and yellow tones, reflecting Warhol's early illustrative style before his rise as the defining figure of American Pop Art. The loose, expressive brushwork and playful use of bold colour demonstrate Warhol's background as a commercial illustrator in the 1950s. The work captures a charming whimsy that contrasts with the bold, graphic imagery for which he would later become iconic.
