This is a black and white engraving depicting a whimsical and fantastical scene. Two monkeys are depicted interacting with hybrid creatures. The first monkey is seated atop a creature that is a bizarre combination of a dragon and a horse. The creature has the head and neck of a dragon, complete with elaborate frills and a long, serpentine tail. Its body, however, is that of a horse, with four legs and a rounded belly. The monkey is holding a string or thread that appears to be attached to the dragon's nose, as if it's leading or controlling the creature. Smoke is billowing from the dragon's nostrils. The second monkey is seated on the back of a camel, also holding a string that is connected to the camel's nose. The camel is depicted with a large, rounded hump and a somewhat comical expression. The creatures are standing in a patch of tall grass, and the overall style of the engraving is detailed and somewhat satirical. The scene evokes a sense of absurdity and playful imagination.
