About the Item

Singerie is a visual art genre that features monkeys imitating human actions, often dressed in stylish clothing, designed to amuse and offer a satirical take on society. The term originates from the French phrase "Monkey Trick.". Jos Schippers, born on October 13, 1868, in Deurne, Belgium, was the grandson of painter Charles Schippers. Renowned for his work as both a painter and etcher, Schippers had a diverse portfolio that included portraits, animals, figures, seascapes, and landscapes. However, he was particularly known for his fascination with depicting monkeys exhibiting human traits. His art often captured these creatures in a variety of settings, rendered in a realist style that brought out their expressive, almost theatrical qualities. An ardent admirer of Charles Verlat, Schippers refined his skills at the Academy of Antwerp, where he studied under the guidance of Leon Brunin and Pieter Van Havermaet. He passed away in Deurne on December 31, 1950.In this painting, Schippers returns to one of his favorite subjects: monkeys with human-like expressions and behaviors. The scene depicts a playful interaction between two monkeys—one smiling as it observes the other, which appears to be grimacing. Through this charming yet thoughtful portrayal, Schippers captures a moment of connection and curiosity, reflecting his skill in blending realism with subtle humor.
