"Magere keuken" (meaning "lean kitchen") is an etching by Flemish artist Pieter van der Borcht the Elder, dating from 1563 - 1608. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this artwork depicts a scene of monkeys mimicking human behavior, specifically, sitting down to a meal, making humorous commentary on human actions. It is an example of the "monkey genre" popular in 16th and 17th-century art, which aimed to satirize human vanity and folly.
