The Studio Of David Teniers the Younger (1610–1690) was a highly prolific 17th-century Flemish artistic enterprise in Antwerp and Brussels, known for producing, copying, and imitating popular genre scenes of peasant life, taverns, and, notably, ''singeries'' (monkeys acting as humans). As a premier painter and court curator, his workshop often created multiple versions of popular compositions, some finished by himself or students influenced by his hand.
