"A Monkey Banquet" (also known as "The Monkey Banquet" or "Monkeys at Table") is a renowned 17th-century oil painting by Flemish artist David Teniers the Younger. This artwork is a prime example of the 'singerie' genre, which was popular in Flemish painting during this period and typically depicted monkeys engaging in human activities, often as a satirical commentary on human follies. In "A Monkey Banquet," Teniers portrays a group of monkeys seated around a table, indulging in a lavish feast and imitating the social habits of the aristocracy of his time.

David Teniers the Younger (1610–1690) was a prolific and versatile painter known for his genre scenes, landscapes, and depictions of peasant life. He became particularly famous for his detailed and humorous portrayals of peasant and lower-class life, often incorporating elements of satire and moralizing themes. "A Monkey Banquet" aligns with Teniers' broader body of work, which frequently explored the boundaries between the civilized and the natural world, and the human tendency towards folly and vice.

The painting is characterized by its fine brushwork, attention to detail, and the use of light to enhance the textures and colors of the sumptuous banquet spread. Teniers' skill in rendering the fur of the monkeys and the various objects on the table demonstrates his mastery of still life and animal painting. The composition invites viewers to reflect on the nature of social rituals and the thin line between animal instinct and human behavior.

"A Monkey Banquet" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact that provides insight into the social and artistic preoccupations of the 17th-century Flemish society. The painting is part of a larger tradition of anthropomorphic animal paintings that have been used throughout art history to critique and entertain. It remains an important work within Teniers' oeuvre and continues to be studied for its contribution to the genre of animal painting and its allegorical significance.
