"Grapes, plums and other fruit in a bowl, lemons and other fruit on a ledge with a monkey, a dog below" is a still life painting by Flemish artist Jan van Kessel the Younger (1654–1708), who was part of a dynasty of painters from the van Kessel family. This artwork exemplifies the Baroque period's fascination with detailed, vibrant depictions of nature and its elements. Van Kessel the Younger, known for his meticulous attention to detail and rich color palette, often created compositions that went beyond mere representation of objects to include allegorical or symbolic meanings.

The painting features an opulent display of fruits arranged in a bowl and on a ledge, showcasing the artist's skill in rendering textures and colors with realism. The inclusion of a monkey and a dog adds a dynamic element to the composition, suggesting a narrative or moral lesson, which was a common practice in still life paintings of the time. The monkey, often symbolizing sin or folly, contrasts with the domesticated dog, which could represent loyalty or vigilance, inviting viewers to reflect on the themes of temptation and virtue.

Jan van Kessel the Younger's work is part of the larger van Kessel family's artistic legacy, which includes Jan van Kessel the Elder, his grandfather, who was also renowned for his still life and nature paintings. This particular painting is an example of the younger van Kessel's ability to continue the family tradition while also infusing his work with his own artistic sensibilities.

The painting is significant for its art historical value, providing insight into the still life genre during the Baroque period in the Southern Netherlands. It also serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of naturalistic representation in European art and the continued interest in the symbolic potential of everyday objects. As with many works of its time, "Grapes, plums and other fruit in a bowl, lemons and other fruit on a ledge with a monkey, a dog below" would have appealed to the senses and the intellect of its viewers, offering a rich visual experience as well as material for contemplation.
