Banderol met titel vastgehouden door twee apen c. 1720 - 1784

This etching, created by Dutch artist Leonard Schenk in the 18th century, depicts two monkeys holding a banner with the inscription "In de Werelt Taapen-spel" (In the World Monkeys' Play). The image offers a satirical commentary on human behavior, using monkeys as a symbol of foolishness and folly. The inscription likely refers to the world's absurdities, a theme frequently explored in Dutch art of the period. The Rijksmuseum houses this work, showcasing Schenk's talent for detailed engravings and satirical commentary.
