I can't draw monkey hands

Today at work I was trying to think of a new backdrop for my computer screen, something that lets people passing by know who I am and what I'm about.

For some reason I kept thinking of this painting that I saw at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. I only saw it once, because when I went back to look at it again, I couldn't find it. It had a very sad title, something like, "The Organ Grinder's Lament," or, "The Tragedy of the Organ Grinder." It showed a young boy sitting on a log crying, looking at a dead monkey. It is my favorite painting of all time but I only have the memory to go on, because Google has absolutely no idea what I am talking about.

Please enjoy this painting of a monkey that I did.
