Princess with a Monkey (Latvian: Princese ar pērtiķi) is a 1913 painting by Janis Rozentāls.

[1] Princess with a Monkey reflects a theme Rozentāls returned to repeatedly in the last years of his life.

Or perhaps the princess is ‘great, beautiful art’ and the monkey the artist: her servant and plaything, bound by golden chains.

Rozentāls’ work included graphic art and in 1910 he worked on the decorative frieze of the newly built headquarters of the Riga Latvian Society.

It is located in the Latvian National Museum of Art, in Riga.
