"Monkeys in a Tavern: Detail of the Card Game" is a notable artwork by the Flemish painter Ferdinand van Kessel, who was active during the 17th century. This painting is part of a larger genre of art known as singerie, which depicts monkeys engaging in human activities, often as a form of satire or social commentary. In this particular work, van Kessel showcases his skill in anthropomorphizing animals by portraying a group of monkeys as if they were humans partaking in a game of cards within the lively setting of a tavern.

The painting is rich in detail and serves as a satirical reflection of human vices and follies, a common theme in Dutch and Flemish art of the period. Monkeys, often used to symbolize base instincts and mimicry, are shown indulging in gambling, smoking, and drinking, mirroring the behaviors of the tavern's human clientele. The use of animals in human roles allows viewers to observe and critique their own behaviors from a detached perspective.

Ferdinand van Kessel, a member of the well-known van Kessel family of painters, was recognized for his contributions to the singerie genre and his ability to infuse his works with humor and fine detail. "Monkeys in a Tavern: Detail of the Card Game" exemplifies his talent and continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and the insight it provides into 17th-century culture and society. The painting remains an important piece within the oeuvre of van Kessel and is a valuable artifact for those studying the Baroque period and the tradition of using animal allegory in art.
