An ornate, gold-framed oil painting titled "Autorretrato con monos (Self-Portrait with Monkeys)" by Frida Kahlo, dated 1943, is displayed on a plain, light grey wall within a museum or art gallery setting in Mexico City, Mexico. The painting, rendered in oil on masonite/laminate and belonging to the Colección Gelman-Sartander, depicts artist Frida Kahlo in a frontal, chest-up pose, with a composed expression and direct gaze. She exhibits her characteristic unibrow and dark hair styled in an updo. Kahlo wears a white, traditional huipil-style blouse with a red-orange embroidered trim around the neckline, and a braided brown necklace with a square orange, geometric pendant. Four black spider monkeys are positioned around Kahlo. One prominent monkey sits on her right arm/shoulder, its paw touching her necklace. The arm of another monkey is visible on her left shoulder. Two smaller monkeys are visible in the background, peering from behind large green tropical leaves, one on the upper left and another on the upper right. A single orange and blue Bird of Paradise flower is depicted to the left of Kahlo's head, set against the lush green foliage background. The painting is encased in a thick, carved, gold-colored wooden frame. A subtle shadow is cast by the frame on the wall to its left and below. To the right of the painting, a white information plaque with black text provides the artist's name (Frida Kahlo, 1907-1954), the artwork's title, year, medium, and collection details.
