Isabelle de Borchgrave's monkeys are inspired by a humorous decorative style of the eighteenth century. These monkeys are dressed in elegant costumes and engaged in human activities such as reading, playing music or serving at the
table. By imitating humans, they often represent a humorous critique of aristocratic society, caricaturing their excesses and manners.
