"Monkey Music; And Monkey Business" is a pair of paintings by David Teniers the Younger, a Flemish artist known for his genre scenes and depictions of peasant life. These works are part of a series of paintings by Teniers that humorously depict monkeys, dressed in contemporary 17th-century attire, engaging in human activities, a genre known as singerie. The paintings are emblematic of the Northern European tradition of satirical and moralizing art, where animals are anthropomorphized to reflect human vices, follies, and social commentary.

In "Monkey Music," the viewer is presented with a scene of monkeys gathered as if in a musical ensemble, playing various instruments and seemingly enjoying their own raucous brand of music-making. This work reflects Teniers' skill in capturing the playful and chaotic energy of his subjects while also providing a subtle critique of human behavior, particularly the excesses and lack of decorum sometimes found in the music and entertainment of his day.

"Monkey Business," on the other hand, typically portrays monkeys engaged in activities that would be considered more disreputable or mischievous, such as drinking, smoking, or gambling. These scenes serve as a mirror to human society, with the monkeys' actions serving as a satirical commentary on the vices and moral corruption that Teniers observed in the world around him.

Both paintings are executed with the fine detail and rich color palette characteristic of Teniers' work. They demonstrate his ability to infuse narrative and character into his subjects, creating scenes that are both amusing and thought-provoking. The exact dates of these works are not clearly documented, but they are generally attributed to the mid-17th century, a period during which Teniers produced a significant body of work and enjoyed considerable success.

Today, "Monkey Music; And Monkey Business" are appreciated not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance as examples of the Baroque period's fascination with allegory and the human condition. These paintings remain relevant for their enduring ability to entertain and engage viewers through the lens of satire and social critique.
