Painted by Katy Kianush, Copyright © 1998
Description
In this painting, Katy has charmingly captured a young Rhesus Macaque patiently waiting for his mother on the ancient stone steps of an old temple in India. The scene is enriched with the colourful detail of a garland of flowers, left behind by worshippers, which provides the curious little monkey with an afternoon snack. The weathered stones of the temple steps tell tales of centuries past. The interplay of light and shadow highlights the textures of both the temple and the macaque’s fur, creating a serene yet dynamic composition that reflects the harmony between nature and spirituality in this sacred setting.
