EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Sleeping peddler robbed by monkeys" we are transported to a bustling market scene filled with animals acting like human beings. The artwork, created by Pieter van der Borcht I and Pieter Brueghel I after 1562-1608, portrays a mischievous group of monkeys and apes taking advantage of a sleeping peddler. As the weary vendor dozes under the shade of a tree, his merchandise laid out before him, he is completely unaware of the cunning monkey family plotting their mischief. With dirty hats perched on their heads and boots that have seen better days, these clever creatures seize the opportunity to snatch up various items from the unsuspecting peddler's collection. Among them stands an amusing bespectacled monkey wearing glasses as if attempting to deceive others into thinking it possesses knowledge beyond its primate nature. Meanwhile, another member of the monkey clan takes a seat in front of a mirror, seemingly fascinated by its own reflection. This intriguing artwork not only captures our attention but also invites us to reflect upon themes such as deception and self-knowledge. The sleeping peddler represents vulnerability while the monkeys symbolize those who take advantage when given an opportunity. Through this image, Quint Lox skillfully brings together elements of humor and social commentary within this vibrant market setting.
