Corbels with monkeys (2 copies)

About this artwork.
The Jugendstilpand at Brugstraat 7 was built in 1904 to the design of father and son Hoekzema. On either side of the portico, which is closed off by an ornate wrought iron fence, there are two corbels with monkeys. The statues are made of hard stone: a blue-black natural stone that is mainly mined in Belgium and France and is also called “petite granite” or bluestone. The maker of the monkeys is unknown.
Under the eaves of the building there are tile tableaux with art nouveau images of peacocks with lilies, a beehive and a Mercury wand. The scenes depicted refer to the commercial function of this building. The tableaux were made by Rozenburg in The Hague.
