20th century
Based on models by Johann Joachim Kaendler and Peter Reinicke
As early as 1753, Kaendler created a set of figures of musical monkeys in colorful clothing, which he reworked in collaboration with Peter Reinicke around 1765/1766.
Depictions of animals behaving like humans were very popular in the 16th century.
